Syslog (AlphaCom)
From Zenitel Wiki
Facility value
The Facility value is a way of determining which process of the AlphaCom created the message. Since the Syslog protocol was originally written on BSD Unix, the Facilities reflect the names of Unix processes and Daemons:
- Local0: Debug log
- Local1: System log
- Local2: Statistics log
Debug log
The Debug log contains the same information as transmitted on the TST console. On AMC systems the information was stored in a small error buffer which could be read by the "err" command from the TST console.
The Debug Log reports on three levels:
- Local0:Warning
- Warning – Information to the user. Often identical to texts sent to the log port
- Local0:Error
- Error – The software handles a problem by e.g. aborting an operation and returning to idle, but logs a message
- Local0:???
- Disaster – Exchange reset. The state of the exchange is so bad that the software does a controlled reset to restore normal operation.
System log
The System Log reports on one level: Local1:Notice
Statistics log
The Statistics Log reports on one level: Local2:Info
