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