The Syslog CONFIG level allows you to configure a syslog facility destination on a P-7500 for grouping together related messages from a facility to a log file for forwarding to a remote syslog message host. You reach this level by entering
create syslog <name>
at the Global CONFIG level to create a syslog destination (or
syslog <name> if the syslog already exists), where:
<name> is the name of the user configured syslog destination. The syslog name can contain up to 31 alphanumeric characters, and must be unique among all created syslog destinations.
Use this command to add the command or event syslog facility to a user configured syslog destination, on a facility by facility basis. Refer to
Chapter 7, TIBCO syslog in
TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 Operations Guide for more information.
The no version removes the specified host from the user configured destination.
host <hostname-or-address> is either the name of the remote host, or the IP address with optional port number, specified in the dotted decimal notation form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn[:nnn]. TCP port 80 is used as a default if the port number is not provided.
transport {tcp | udp} sets the transport mode used for forwarding the syslog file to the remote host to either TCP or UDP, respectively. TCP is used as a default if this parameter is not provided.
