Log

The Log icon determines what events are stored and displayed in the Appliance Log. When you select a

Global Level, the appliance saves only events with a log value equal to or lower than the selected

Global Level. A low Global Level setting results in a high logging priority.

By default, all components log events at the level specified in the Global level field. You can specify a

unique logging level for each component. The Component Log Levels available for logging are

determined by appliance model and user access privileges. Some items may not be available on some

models or to some user accounts. To specify a component-specific log setting, select the Level field

beside the component and select the log level for the component.

Note: Use a minimum Log Level of 6 - Notice to ensure that log messages associated with

alerts are recorded in the Audit Trail.

You can configure the appliance to post log data to a remote Syslog server. When the Syslog

functionality is enabled, all events stored in the Audit Trail are also forwarded to a remote Syslog host

for logging to a user-specified Syslog facility.

To enable logging of events to a remote Syslog host:

1. In the Hostname field, enter the IP Address or Hostname of the remote Syslog server.

2. If the remote Syslog server is using a port other that 514 for Syslog communications, enter the

port number in the Port field and click OK.

Modbus Slave Communication

The Modbus Slave Communication icon is available only on the NetBotz Rack Monitor 570, 550 or on

appliances for which the Advanced Software Pack has been purchased. For more information, contact

your APC authorized reseller or the APC support team.

Use the Modus Slave Communication icon to configure the method the appliance will use to

communicate with the Modbus master.

If your appliance is connected through a network port, select Enable TCP/IP Communication. Specify

the listening port in the provided field. Port 502 is the industry default.

The serial connection cannot be configured until a serial device of type "Modbus Slave Serial Interface"

is configured. If you have multiple serial devices configured, the port will automatically use the first

configured device with the type “Modbus Slave Serial Interface”.

To configure a serial connection, select Enable Serial Communication. To configure a serial port, click

Serial Devices and select the device from the list.

See “Serial Devices” on page 97 for more information on configuring a serial device.

The default values for the serial settings are: Baud: 19200, Mode: RTU, Parity: even, Data bits: 8,

Stop bits: 1. The Port setting is inherited from the serial device and cannot be changed.
