Configure System Logging

Send log messages to a named file, a remote location, a user, or the console. Configure the settings to receive the messages that you want to see.

You can enable system logging in a hub profile, WAN Edge template, or device configuration.
  1. Navigate to the hub profile, WAN Edge template, or device configuration.

    • For a WAN Edge template—From the left menu, select Organization > WAN > WAN Edge Templates. Click a template, or create a new one. Scroll down to the WAN section.

    • For a hub profile—From the left menu, select Organization > WAN > Hub Profiles. Click a profile, or create a new one. Scroll down to the WAN section.

    • For an individually managed WAN Edge device—From the left menu, select WAN Edges > WAN Edges. Click a device. Scroll down to the WAN section.

  2. Scroll to the Syslog section.
  3. Select Enabled.
  4. On the first four tabs, identify the resources/recipients that will receive the logs, and specify the contents to send.

    These tabs include:

    • Files—Send log messages to a named file.

    • Hosts—Send log messages to a remote location. This could be an IP address or hostname of a device that will be notified whenever those log messages are generated.

    • Users—Notify a specific user of the log event.

    • Console—Send log messages of a specified class and severity to the console. Log messages include priority information, which provides details about the facility and severity levels of the log messages.

    To add/edit/remove files, hosts, users, or consoles:

    • Add—Click the Add button. Enter the settings, and then click Add Contents (near the bottom of the Add window) to specify the log contents. You can repeat this step to add additional content types. When finished, click Add at the bottom of the window.

    • Modify—Click the item to modify, and then make your changes in the Edit window. Be sure to save your changes.

    • Remove—Click the item to remove, and then click the Delete button at the bottom of the Edit window.

  5. On the Archive tab, define parameters for archiving log messages.
  6. On the General tab, specify the settings to use for the log messages.
    For more information about the various options, see Syslog Options.
  7. Configure other settings as needed, and then click Save at the top-right corner of the page.
