| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Type a Name for the syslog server. |
| Description | (Optional) Type a Description for the syslog server. Although optional, entering a description is helpful for troubleshooting and for identifying the server. |
| Syslog Facility | |
| IQ Engine Syslog Facility | Select an IQ Engine Syslog
Facility to categorize messages sent to syslog from
IQ Engine devices. Because syslog servers can receive messages from many types of network devices, such as routers, firewalls, mail servers, you can designate one of the twelve syslog facilities reserved for local use—Auth, Authpriv, Security, User, and Local0 to Local7—to mark messages from all the devices to which you apply this management service set. |
| Non-IQ Syslog Facility | Select a Non-IQ Syslog Facility to categorize messages sent to syslog from non-IQ Engine devices. |
| Syslog Group | Select the arrow to expand the Syslog
Group section, and use the menus to select the log
level for each category.
Syslog groups organize messages by category and limit the number of messages sent based on severity level. APs do not send messages that are below the assigned level to the syslog server. |
| Syslog servers are on the same internal network as the reporting Extreme Networks devices (for PCI DSS compliance) | If you must make PCI DSS compliance reports, select the check box. If the servers are on an external network outside the firewall, clear the check box. |
| Enable hostname in syslog headers | To add the hostname to the headers for all syslog messages, select the check box. |
