Configuring Syslog Message Severity Level

You can configure the minimum severity level of messages that you want to include in Syslog messages that are generated by the device.

It's strongly recommended to leave the Syslog severity level at its default setting. Changing severity level is typically done only by AudioCodes Support for debugging.

The severity levels are described in the following table.

Severity Level (Highest to Lowest)	Syslog String	Description
Fatal	emerg	A panic condition (system is unstable).
Alert	alert	A problem has been identified and an action must be taken immediately.
Critical	crit	A problem has been identified that is critical.
Error	error	An error has been identified.
Warning	warning	An error that might occur if measures are not taken to prevent it.
Notice	notice	An unusual event has occurred.
Informational	info	An operational message.
Debug	debug	Debug message.

The specified severity level and all higher severity levels are included in the Syslog message. For example, if you configure the parameter to Alert, the Syslog includes messages with Alert severity level and messages with Fatal severity level.

When viewing Syslog messages in the Web interface (see Viewing Syslog Messages), each severity level is displayed in a different color.

➢

To configure the minimum message severity level to include in Syslog:

Open the Logging Settings page (Troubleshoot menu > Troubleshoot tab > Logging folder > Logging Settings).

From the 'Log Severity Level' [SyslogLogLevel] drop-down list, select the severity level.

Click Apply.
