Creating syslog notification rules

When you create a syslog notification rule, the system sends log messages to your syslog server for each applicable system event.

• Enable: Turns on syslog notifications
• Host: The hostname or IP address of the syslog server
• Port: The port on which the syslog server listens for log messages
• Facility: Category for the messages sent by this notification rule

You use the syslog notification message settings to configure a template for formatting all syslog notifications sent by this notification rule.

• Message: The message to send. You can use these variables as part of the message:

  Variable	Description

  $subject	A short description of the event
  $message	Event message text

  $userName	Name of the user responsible for the event
  $subsystem	Category for the component affected by the event
  $objectId	Unique identifier for component affected by the event
