Configuring the SYSLOG server
The Quick2Config server includes a SYSLOG server, which records messages
sent from devices within the network. The SYSLOG server starts on port 514
when you start the Quick2Config server. However, if another SYSLOG server is
already running on your system, the Quick2Config SYSLOG server does not start
and you cannot view the contents of the SYSLOG file from within the
Quick2Config environment.
If you want to view SYSLOG messages from within the Quick2Config
environment, you must edit the current SYSLOG server’s syslog.conf file. On
UNIX systems, the syslog.conf file is located in the /etc directory. On Windows
systems, refer to the SYSLOG server documentation to detemine the location of
the syslog.conf file.
Nortel Networks recommends that you edit the syslog.conf file only if you
understand SYSLOG server functions and if you know the facility and level (or
priority) of the SYSLOG messages sent from the network devices. After you have
determined the facility and level values, edit the syslog.conf file and direct only
those facility/level values that you want to view within Quick2Config to
/usr/Quick2Config/server/bin/syslog.txt.
To view the contents of the /usr/Quick2Config/server/bin/syslog.txt file:
➨ Choose View > Syslog.
To disable (or enable) the SYSLOG server:
1
Start a Quick2Config client session.
2
Log in as Administrator.
3
In the navigation pane, choose Server Setup > SYSLOG Daemon.
4
In the context-sensitive pane, click the Properties tab.
The Basic tab displays the properties for the SYSLOG server (Figure 20).
