USER’S GUIDE

Switched Rack PDU

Syslog Test and Format Example (Logs>Syslog>test). Send a test message to

the Syslog servers configured through the servers option.

1. Select a severity to assign to the test message.

2. Define the test message, according to the required message fields.

–The priority (PRI): The Syslog priority assigned to the message’s event, and the

facility code of messages sent by the Rack PDU.

–The Header: A time stamp and the IP address of the Rack PDU.

–The message (MSG) part:

• The TAG field, followed by a colon and space, identifies the event type.

• The CONTENT field is the event text, followed (optionally) by a space and the

event code.

For example, APC: Test Syslog is valid.

Severity

Mapping

Maps each severity level of Rack PDU events to available Syslog priorities. You

should not need to change the mappings.

The following definitions are from RFC3164:

• Emergency: The system is unusable

• Alert: Action must be taken immediately

• Critical: Critical conditions

• Error: Error conditions

• Warning: Warning conditions

• Notice: Normal but significant conditions

• Informational: Informational messages

• Debug: Debug-level messages

Following are the default settings for the Local Priority settings:

• Severe is mapped to Critical.

• Warning is mapped to Warning.

• Informational is mapped to Info.

OTE: To disable Syslog messages, see Configuring event actions.
