Syslog test and format example.

Path: 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.

Setting Definition

Message

Generation

Enables (by default) or disables the Syslog feature.

Facility Code Selects the facility code assigned to the Rack PDU’s Syslog messages (User, by default).

Note:User best defines the Syslog messages sent by the Rack PDU. Do not change this selec-

tion unless advised to do so by the Syslog network or system administrator.

Severity

Mapping

Maps each severity level of Rack PDU or Environment 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

Note:To disable Syslog messages, see “Configuring event actions” on page 69.
