Configuring Devices to Send Syslogs
Syslog Analyzer lets you centrally log and track system error messages, exceptions, and other
information (such as device configuration changes) that you can use to analyze device and network
performance.
Configure devices to forward messages to the RME server or to a system on which you have installed
the Common Syslog Collector. For details about the Syslog Collector, see the Installation Guide for
RME 4.0.
For more information about setting up devices for message logging, see the Cisco IOS Software
Documentation on Cisco.com.
On UNIX systems, make sure that the Syslog facility for the device is set to local7. Messages from
devices are continuously added to the file pointed to by the logging facility local7.info in the
/etc/syslog.conf (syslog configuration) file.
The first occurrence of local7 in the syslog.conf file, must contain the path for the Syslog message
source.
