Appendix B

Using the

syslog

Facility

Bay Networks provides a syslog facility that works with the UNIX syslogd

daemon residing on remote host systems. The syslog facility periodically polls the

router’s events log and forwards any new router event messages to the remote

hosts you specify. The UNIX syslogd daemon residing on the remote hosts then

outputs the messages to the appropriate device.

If you use Site Manager, you can use the Events Manager to examine router

events. However, if you manage your routers using a third-party SNMP-based

network management application, such as the Hewlett-Packard OpenView

Network Node Manager, then you can use the syslog facility as an alternative to

SNMP traps to display router events.

You can use the Conﬁguration Manager to conﬁgure the syslog facility to do the

following:

• Deliver event messages in the order in which they occur.

• Filter messages based on a set of criteria that you deﬁne.

In addition, you can use the Conﬁguration Manager to enable or disable the syslog

facility.

You should read this appendix for information on

• Conﬁguring the syslogd daemon on remote hosts

• How the syslog facility ﬁlters event messages

• Conﬁguring the syslog facility

• Deleting syslog from the router
