Syslog overview
Syslog uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to transport event log information from
the meter directly to a centralized syslog server.
The syslog server can receive logs from multiple devices, including meters, then store
and filter the log information as needed. You can use ION Setup to modify the syslog
network settings for your device. Syslog is a useful feature to help maintain meter log
information for extended periods of time.
NOTE: Ethernet is required to use the syslog feature.
Syslog is an open standard allowing you to use any one of a number of syslog server
applications currently available. The decision regarding which syslog server solution to
use can be based on budget and your technical requirements. See the individual
syslog server’s documentation for more information.
Configuring Syslog network settings using ION Setup
You can configure your syslog settings using ION Setup.
1. Open the Setup Assistant for your meter. See the ION Setup Help for instructions.
2. Select Communications > Advanced Ethernet and click the SysLog tab.
3. Select Enable Syslog and click Edit.
4. Select Yes to enable the syslog server feature or select No to disable it.
5. Click OK.
6. Select Syslog Server and click Edit.
7. Enter the IPv4 address or an IPv6 address for the syslog server.
You must enter the IP address for the syslog server, not the server’s fully-qualified
domain name.
8. Click OK.
9. Verify that the Syslog server is receiving log information from the meter.
NOTE: If the Enable Syslog register is enabled but the Syslog Server register
does not contain an IP address, an event is generated in the event log to
indicate that syslog is enabled with no server IP.
Syslog severity to event log priority mapping
Syslog severities map to ION event priorities (0-255).
Only four of the syslog severities are used in the mapping.
