The eight priority stages defined initially in the SYSLOG are reduced to
five stages in the BAT. The following table shows the relationship of
alarm level, significance and SYSLOG priorities.
V After you have set all the parameters, confirm the entries with OK. The
SYSLOG client is then entered with its parameters into the SYSLOG ta-
ble.
U Facilities
All messages from BAT can be assigned to a facility with the Facility map-
ping button and then are written to a special log file by the SYSLOG client
with no additional input.
Example
All facilities are set to 'local7'. Under Linux in the file
/etc/syslog.conf
the entry
local7.* /var/log/bat.log
writes all outputs of the BAT to the file
/var/log/bat.log
.
12.6Time server for the local net
BAT routers can apply exact information of time either over ISDN or over
public time servers on the internet (NTP-Server with ’Open Access’ policy).
The BAT can then provide the detected time for all stations in the local net-
work.
