Remote logging

BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring is a device with remote logging (syslog) enabled. It can send logging messages to log collection systems.

Logging levels

When you configure remote logging, you can choose the severity level of the logging messages your want the device to send.

Logging Levels (in descending severity)

For the system to send logging messages to a log collection system, you must configure remote logging. For this you must perform the following tasks:

• Specify the severity level of the logging messages that your want the device to send
• Specify the IP address of the server that you want to send logging messages to
• Enable the sending of log messages

For example, you want to configure the system so that it can send messages to the syslog server at IP address 192.0.2.160. You want the device to send only those messages whose severity is Warning or worse. To perform this procedure, you must have Operator-level access, or higher.
