Packet Format for Syslog Output

Syslog packets sent by the GigaVUE H Series node to an external syslog server conform to the format recommended by RFC 3164 (but are not facility numerical code compatible).

Keep in mind the following about this packet format:

■

Severity indications in the packet’s PRI field are derived from corresponding event levels on the GigaVUE H Series node.

■

Timestamps are provided in Mmm dd hh:mm:ss format, where Mmm is the standard English language abbreviation of the month (for example, Jan, Feb, Mar).

■

Syslog packets include the IP address of the Mgmt port.
