Appendix B Understanding Syslog Formats
The syslog message is sent on the network to the NMS (Network management station) using UDP. The
UDP socket sent to, will be the UDP socket for syslog (514).
The payload of the message will be preceded by the logging facility code enclosed in angle braces (<>)
that the receiving Syslog daemon uses for routing the message. Logging facility at the logging system is
mapped to a log file on the system. The logging facility codes map as follows:
–
(5<<3) = Syslog
–
(23-16<<3) = Local 0 to Local 7
The combination FACILITY-[SUBFACILITY-]SEVERITY-MNEMONIC must be UNIQUE for a given
message, so that Syslog Analyzer can provide non-trivial syslog support.
See the section, Enabling and Tracking Syslogs Using Syslog Analyzer and Collector for details.
