Managing Syslog Notification

Procedure

1. Choose Settings > Alarm Settings > Alarm Notification > Syslog Notification.

2. Specify a Syslog server's address to receive alarms, alarm severities, and notification types.
   1. Set Enable to the on state.
   2. Set Syslog notification parameters. Table 1 describes related parameters.

      Table 1 Syslog notification parameters

      Parameter	Description
      Port	Port number used for Syslog notification. The value ranges from 1 to 65535. The default value is 514. NOTE: The port number configured in the storage system must be the same as that configured on the Syslog server.
      Protocol	Protocol used to send Syslog notification messages. Possible values are UDP, TCP, and TCP+SSL/TLS. The default value is TCP+SSL/TLS. NOTE: The protocol configured in the storage system must be the same as that configured on the Syslog server. The UDP and TCP protocols have security risks. You are advised to select TCP+SSL/TLS.
      Severity	Lowest severity of a Syslog alarm that can be sent. Possible values are Info, Warning, Major, and Critical.
      Notification Content	Notification type. Possible options are Alarm, Alarm Recovery Notification, Event, and Security Log.
      Send Device Name	If Send Device Name is enabled, the system sends the device name to the Syslog server.

3. Set recipient server addresses.
   • Adding a recipient server address
     1. Click Add.
     2. Add a server address to receive alarms.
        

        • In the event of using an IPv4 address:
          • A 32-bit IPv4 address is divided into four 8-bit fields that are expressed in dotted decimal notation.
          • Each field of the IPv4 address cannot be left empty and must be an integer.
          • The value of the leftmost field ranges from 1 to 223 (excluding 127).
          • The values of the other fields range from 0 to 255.
          • An IPv4 address cannot be set to a special address such as a broadcast address.
        • In the event of using an IPv6 address:
          • A 128-bit IPv6 address is divided into eight 16-bit fields. Each 16-bit field consists of four colon-separated hexadecimal numbers.
          • In each 16-bit field, leading zeros can be omitted for simplicity. However, at least one digit must be reserved in each field.
          • To achieve further simplicity, you can use a double colon (::) in place of a series of zeros. A double colon can be used only once in an IPv6 address. It can also represent the neighboring consecutive zeros at the beginning or end of an IPv6 address.
          • An IPv6 address cannot be set to a special one, such as a network address, loopback address, or multicast address.
     3. Click to complete the setting.
        

        To cancel the operation, click .

   • Deleting a server address
     1. Select the server address that you want to delete and click Delete.
        

        If only one server address is configured, it cannot be deleted.

     2. Confirm your operation as prompted.
   • Testing a recipient server address

     Select the desired recipient server address and click Test to test connectivity between the storage system and the Syslog server.

4. Click Save.
