An event log can be configured to send events to one syslog destination. Syslog destinations have the following properties:
syslog server IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
the UDP port used to send the syslog message
the Syslog Facility Code
the Syslog Severity Threshold (0 to 7) (events exceeding the configured level will be sent)
Because syslog uses eight severity levels, whereas the 7705 SAR uses six internal severity levels, the severity levels are mapped to syslog severities. Table: 7705 SAR to Syslog Severity Level Mappings displays the severity level mappings to syslog severities.
