Managing Syslog Notification

Prerequisites

• You have enabled Syslog notification.
• You have logged in to DeviceManager as a super administrator or an administrator who has necessary 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 > Alarm Notification > Syslog Notification.
3. Configure the Syslog notification type and severity. Table 5-13 describes the parameters.
   Figure 5-20 Syslog notification settings
   
   Table 5-13 Syslog notification parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Port	Syslog port number. The value ranges from 1 to 65535, and the default value is 514. NOTE: The port number configured on the storage system must be consistent with that configured on the Syslog server.
   Protocol	Protocol through which the Syslog notification is sent. Possible options are UDP, TCP, and TCP+SSL/TLS. The default value is TCP+SSL/TLS. NOTE: Ensure that the UDP, TCP, TCP+SSL/TLS protocols have been configured on the Syslog server. Security risks arise if Protocol is set to UDP or TCP. You are advised to select TCP+SSL/TLS. The protocol configured on the storage system must be consistent with that configured on the Syslog server. If you select UDP, ensure that the syslog server can respond to ping packets normally. Otherwise, Syslog notifications of the storage system cannot be sent to the receiving server.
   Alarm Severity	Indicates the lowest severity of a Syslog alarm that can be sent. Possible values are Info, Warning, Major, and Critical.
   Notification Type	Possible values are Alarm, Alarm recovery, Event, eService collection log, and Security Log.
   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 > Device Information to view device names.

3. Manage the recipient server addresses of Syslog notifications. Table 5-14 details the operations.
   Figure 5-21 Recipient server address settings
   
   Table 5-14 Relevant operations

   Operation	Procedure
   Adding an address	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. 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 hexadecimal 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-colons (::) can also be used to represent neighboring zeros of the IP address. The IP address cannot be a special address such as 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 and A to Z), digits (0 to 9), periods (.), and hyphens (-). It cannot start or end with a hyphen (-). Click OK.
   Removing a recipient server address	In the Recipient Server Address list, select recipient server addresses that you want to remove and click .
