Configuring the Primary Syslog Server Address

This section describes how to configure the "primary" syslog server to where you want the device to send its generated syslog messages.

●

To enable the device to send syslog messages, you MUST also configure the 'VoIP Debug Level' parameter to Basic or Detailed (see Configuring Syslog Debug Level).

●

In addition to configuring a "primary" syslog server, you can configure "secondary" syslog servers (see Configuring Secondary Syslog Servers). The device sends the syslog messages to all configured servers ("primary" and "secondary").

●

Unless you configure a dedicated CDR server address (see Enabling CDR Generation and Configuring the CDR Server Address), the syslog server is also used as the CDR server. The syslog server's port number, transport protocol and IP Interface settings then also apply to the CDR server.

➢

To configure the primary syslog server address:

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

Configure the syslog address parameters:

From the 'Syslog Interface' drop-down list, select the IP Interface from the IP Interfaces table (see Configuring IP Network Interfaces) for communication with the syslog server.

In the 'Syslog Server IP' field [SyslogServerIP], enter the address (IPv4 or IPv6 address, or FQDN) of the syslog server.

In the 'Syslog Server Port' field, enter the port of the syslog server.

The IP address version (IPv4 or IPv6) of the IP Interface ('Syslog Interface') and the syslog server's address ('Syslog Server IP') must be the same.

From the 'Syslog Protocol' drop-down list, select the transport protocol. By default, the device uses the UDP transport protocol for communication with the syslog server. You can change this to TCP or TLS.

If you selected TLS as the transport protocol in the previous step, you need to select a TLS Context from the 'Syslog TLS Context' drop-down list:

To configure TLS Contexts, see Configuring TLS Certificate Contexts.

Click Apply.
