2.1 Configuring the Event Logcodes
First it is necessary to choose which events should trigger the syslog alerts.
The Event logcodes are configured from Configuration - Alarms > Event Logcodes. The list of events and
trigger priorities is held in a file called logcodes.txt, when the event logcodes are changed the changes will
not appear in the config.da0 or logcodes.txt files, but are stored in the logcodes.dif file once the changes
have been saved.
In order to send a syslog alert when a particular event occurs, the Alarm Priority for the event should be
changed. There can be a number of reasons for each event. Each event can be configured with a global
Alarm Priority which applies to all the reasons. It is also possible to override the global event Alarm Priority
with a different Alarm Priority for each reason.
In the example below the Event 5 “%e %a down” will be used to trigger a syslog alert when PPP 1 is down
and Event 153 “PPP 1 up” will be used to trigger a syslog alert when PPP 1 is up.
Navigate to Configuration - Alarms > Event Logcodes
