11. Syslog Messages
The Syslog feature can create log records of each Alarm Event. As these event
records are created, they are sent to a Syslog Daemon, located at an IP address
dened via the Network Parameters menu.
11.1. Configuration
If you wish to employ this feature, you must set the real-time clock and calendar via
the System Parameters Menu, and dene the IP address for the Syslog Daemon via
the Network Port Conguration menu.
To congure the Syslog function, please proceed as follows:
1. Access command mode: Note that the following conguration menus are
only available to accounts that permit Administrator level commands.
2. System Parameters Menu: Access the System Parameters Menu as
described in Section 5.3, then set the following parameters:
a) Set Clock and Calendar: Set the Real Time Clock and Calendar and/or
congure and enable the NTP server feature.
3. Network Parameters Menu: Access the Network Parameters Menu as
described in Section 5.9, then set the following parameters:
a) Syslog IP Address: Determine the IP address for the device that will
run the Syslog Daemon, then use the Network Port Conguration menu
to dene the IP Address for the Syslog Daemon.
4. Syslog Daemon: In order to capture messages sent by the Outlet Managed
PDU, a computer must be running a Syslog Daemon (set to UDP Port 514) at
the IP address specied in Step 3 above.
Once the Syslog Address is dened, Syslog messages will be generated whenever
one of the alarms discussed in Section 7 is triggered.
