An event log can be configured to send events to one syslog destination. Syslog destinations have the following properties:
syslog server IP address
UDP port used to send the syslog message
Syslog Facility Code (0 - 23) (default 23 - local 7)
Syslog Severity Threshold (0 - 7)
Events that exceed the configured level are sent
Because syslog uses eight severity levels whereas the 7210 SAS uses six internal severity levels, the severity levels are mapped to syslog severities. The following table lists the severity level mappings to syslog severities.
