Managing Syslog Notification

Prerequisites

• You have enabled Syslog notification.
• You have logged in to DeviceManager as a super administrator or an administrator who has operation permissions.
• For sending alarms to the Syslog server, a storage system only sends the alarms generated after the Syslog server is configured and does not send alarms generated before the configuration.

Procedure

1. Log in to DeviceManager.
2. Choose Settings > Alarm Settings > Syslog Notification.
3. Configure the Syslog notification type and severity. Table 5-17 describes the parameters.
   Figure 5-8 Syslog notification settings
   
   Table 5-17 Syslog notification parameters

   Parameter	Description	Value
   Severity	Indicates the lowest severity of a Syslog alarm that can be sent. Possible values are Informational, Warning, Major, and Critical.	[Example] Warning
   Notification Type	Possible values are Alarm, Alarm Restore Notification, Event, Call Home Collects Logs (applicable to V300R006C50 and earlier), eService collection log (applicable to V300R006C60 and later), and Security Log (applicable to V300R006C61 and later).	[Example] Event
   Send Device Name	Indicates whether the device name should be sent to the Syslog server. NOTE: After Send Device Name is enabled, the system sends device names to the Syslog notification server. You can choose Settings > Basic Information > Device Information to view device names.	[Example] Enable

4. (Optional) Click Test to test the connectivity between the storage system and Syslog server.
5. Click Save.

3. Manage the receiver server addresses of Syslog notifications. Table 5-18 details the operations.

   Table 5-18 Relevant operations

   Operation	Procedure
   Adding an address	Under the Receiver Server Address list, click Add. The Add Receiver Server Address dialog box is displayed. Specify the server address that you want to add. NOTE: An IPv4 address has the following requirements: The 32-bit address is evenly divided into four fields. Each 8-bit field is expressed in dotted-decimal notation. Each field of the IP address cannot be blank and must be an integer. The value of the first field ranges from 1 to 223 (excluding 127). The values of other fields range from 0 to 255. The IP address cannot be a special address such as the broadcast address. An IPv6 address has the following requirements: The 128-bit address is evenly divided into eight fields. Each 16-bit field is expressed in four hexadecimal numbers and separated with colons. In each 16-bit field, zeros before integers can be removed. However, at least one digit must be reserved in each field. If the IP address contains a long string of zeros, you can represent the neighboring zeros with double colons (::) in the colon-separated hexadecimal field. Each IP address contains only one double-colon (::). The double-colon (::) can also be used to represent neighboring zeros of the IP address. The IP address cannot be a special address such as a network address, loop address, or multicast address. The domain name has the following requirements: A domain name is not case-sensitive and must be an English domain name. An English domain name contains 1 to 255 characters. An English domain name can only contain letters (a to z, A to Z), digits (0 to 9), dots (.), and hyphens (-). It cannot start or end with a hyphen (-). Click OK. The Receiver Server Address displays the newly added server address.
   Removing a receiver server address	In the Receiver Server Address list, select receiver server addresses that you want to remove and click Remove.
