Syslog Agent Enterprise Parameters

You can configure the Cisco Syslog Agent enterprise parameters to send system, application, and security alarms/messages that exceed the configured threshold to a remote syslog server that you specify. To access the Cisco Syslog Agent parameters, go to the applicable window for your configuration:

Cisco Unified Communications Manager

In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose System > Enterprise Parameters.

Cisco Unity Connection

In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, choose System Setting > Enterprise Parameters.

Cisco IM and Presence

In Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Administration, choose System > Enterprise Parameters.

Next, configure the remote syslog server names (Remote Syslog Server Name 1, Remote Syslog Server Name 2, Remote Syslog Server Name 3, Remote Syslog Server Name 4, and Remote Syslog Server Name 5) and syslog severity. Ensure that you specify valid IP addresses while configuring the server names. The syslog severity is applicable to all the remote syslog servers that you configure. Then click Save. For the valid values to enter, click the ? button. If no server name is specified, Cisco Unified Serviceability does not send the Syslog messages.


Caution


While configuring remote syslog servers in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, do not add duplicate entries for remote syslog server names. If you add duplicate entries, the Cisco Syslog Agent will ignore the duplicate entries while sending messages to the remote syslog servers.



Note


Do not configure a Cisco Unified Communications Manager as a remote syslog server. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager node does not accept Syslog messages from another server.
