Remote Log - Router
The remote log feature forwards all logged information to a remote PC. The type of information
forwarded to the remote PC depends upon the Log level. Each log message is assigned a
severity level, which indicates how seriously the triggering event affects router functions. When
you configure logging, you must specify a severity level for each facility. Messages that belong to
the facility which are rated at that level or higher are logged to the destination.
For PPPoE and PPPoA connections, you can select Debug in the Log Level field if you want to
log the connection information. This is helpful when trying to debug connection problems. The
remote log feature allows you to forward all logged information to one (or more) remote syslog
server. The type of information forwarded to the remote server depends upon the Log level. Each
log message is assigned a severity level, which indicates how seriously the triggering event
affects RG functions. When you configure logging, you must specify a severity level. Log
messages that are rated at that level or higher are sent to the syslog server and can be viewed
using the syslog server application, which can be downloaded from the web or comes with a linux
machine.
You can display the system log for your RG by clicking the
System Log
link from the Status main
page.
