With Log to Syslog, log messages are sent over your network to the Syslog server. Enter the IP
address for your syslog server. Syslog servers need not be Linux machines. You can install a
syslog server on a windows PC. One simple Windows app is at http://www.kiwisyslog.com/.
A typical setting for diagnosing SIP problems would be to set the log level to Debug (extended).
Fewer log messages will be generated if you set level to Debug (basic) Easier to read, but
maybe missing detail that you need.
If you want to adjust logging in detail, go into the Advanced page and select which modules to
log, then select the DEBUG level for the module you want to trace. For example, if you want to
trace what VX Producer or VSet is sending to the Engine, you might chose to select LWCPBE
module log level to DEBUG.
The three most interesting modules to log are:
♦ AIF - VX front end communications with VX DSP part
♦ CPSIP + SIP - SIP messages
♦ LWCPBE - LWCP protocol for VX control
Internet standard Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to provide an accurate timestamp to the
events captured in logs. For accurate timestamps, you need to have an NTP server accessible
on your network and its IP address properly configured on the System page.
