Syslog Messages

Use this action to automatically forward event messages to the specified syslog server. Determine the syslog transmission mechanism you prefer when setting it up.

Dominion KX IV–101 may or may not detect syslog message transmission failure. Detected syslog failures and reasons are saved in the event log.

See Event Management for help assigning this action to an event.

• To create the syslog message action:

  

1. Select Syslog Message from the Action list.
2. In the Syslog Server field, specify the IP address to which the syslog is forwarded.
3. In the Transport Protocol field, select one of the syslog protocols: UDP, TCP, or TCP+TLS. The default is UDP.

   UDP	In the UDP Port field, type an appropriate port number. Default is 514. Select the "Legacy BSD Syslog Protocol" checkbox if applicable.
   TCP	NO TLS certificate is required. Type an appropriate port number in the TCP Port field.
   TCP+TLS	A TLS certificate is required. Type an appropriate port number in the "TCP Port" field. Default is 6514. In the CA Certificate field, click to select a TLS certificate. After importing the certificate, click Show to view its contents, or click Remove to delete. To allow event messages even if any TLS certificate in the selected certificate chain is outdated or not valid yet, select the "Allow expired and not yet valid certificates" checkbox.
