About System Message Logging Servers

You can configure a maximum of three system message logging servers. One of these syslog servers should be Fabric Manager if you want to view system messages from the Event tab in Fabric Manager.

To configure system message logging servers, follow these steps:

  1. In Fabric Manager, Expand Switches, expand Events and select SysLog in the Physical Attributes pane, then click the Servers tab in the Information pane.
  2. In Device Manager, choose Logs > Syslog > Setup and click the Servers tab in the Syslog dialog box.
  3. Click the Create Row icon in Fabric Manager, or click Create in Device Manager to add a new syslog server.
  4. Enter the name or IP address in dotted decimal notation (for example, 192.168.2.12) of the syslog server in the Name or IP Address field.
  5. Set the message severity threshold by clicking the MsgSeverity radio button and set the facility by clicking the Facility radio button.
  6. Click the Apply Changes icon in Fabric Manager, or click Create in Device Manager to save and apply your changes.
  7. If CFS is enabled on Fabric Manager for the syslog feature, click Admin> CFS and commit these changes to propagate the configuration through the fabric.
