Syslog
An event log can be configured to send events to one syslog destination. Syslog destinations 
have the following properties:
• syslog server IP address
• the UDP port used to send the syslog message
• the Syslog Facility Code
• the Syslog Severity Threshold (0 to 7) (events exceeding the configured level will 
be sent)
Because syslog uses eight severity levels whereas the 7705 SAR uses six internal severity 
levels, the severity levels are mapped to syslog severities. Table 26 displays the severity 
level mappings to syslog severities.
