Syntax
mksyslogserver [ -nameserver_name ] -ipip_address [ -facilityfacility ] [ -error { on | off } ] [ -warning { on | off } ] [ -info { on | off } ] [ -cadf { on | off } ]
Parameters
- -nameserver_name
- (Optional) Specifies a unique name to assign to the syslog server. If a name is not

- 7 receive syslog messages in fully-expanded format. The default value is 0.
- -erroron|off
- (Optional) Specifies whether the server receives error notifications. Set to
on, error notifications are sent to the syslog server. Set to
off, error notifications are not sent to the syslog server. The default
value is on.
- -warningon|off
- (Optional) Specifies whether the server receives warning notifications. Set to
on, warning notifications are sent to the syslog server. Set to
off, warning notifications are not sent to the syslog server. The default
value is on.
- -infoon|off

on, information notifications are sent to the syslog server. Set to
off, information notifications are not sent to the syslog server. The
default value is on.

- (Optional) Specifies that Cloud Auditing Data Federation (CADF) data reporting be turned
on or off. Any syslog notifications sent to the server are
formatted to the CADF standard. This parameter is mutually-exclusive with
-facility.
Description
This command creates a syslog
server to receive notifications. The syslog protocol is a client-server standard for forwarding
log messages from a sender to a receiver on an IP network. Syslog can be used to integrate log
messages from different types of systems into a central repository.
Lenovo Storage V series supports a maximum of six syslog servers.
For syslog servers, SNMP servers, and email users with type set to
local, the valid combinations of notification types are:
- error, warning, and
info
- error and warning
