6.8.1.3 Ethernet — FSM — Syslog
The VB220 has a built-in syslog server which captures all incoming messages (UDP, port 514). Messages
are displayed in a pageable grid with the following columns: Facility, Severity, Timestamp, Hostname,
Agent and Message. Currently displayed page can be exported as an XML-document.
Since the syslog server typically stores about 100 pages of messages there is a group of buttons for a
fast navigation:
Newest Move to the first page
Much newer Move 10 pages backwards
Newer Move 1 page backwards
Older Move 1 page forwards
Much older Move 10 pages forwards
Oldest Move to the last page
Syslog server has a limited capacity which is usually enough to store the latest 10,000 messages
depending on the size of the syslog messages. When a new message arrives and no storage space
remains the oldest messages are removed.
Note that the syslog server is very sensible to time settings, so it is strongly recommended to have a time
synchronization enabled.
