Using Syslog Messaging to Monitor Router Events
308657-14.00 Rev 00
C-9
Syslog retrieves the variables shown in brackets ([ ]) from the router’s system log
message or from the host table. The next sections describe the variables for:
•IP header
• UDP header
• UDP data
• Priority code
IP Header
When an event message passes all filtering criteria, syslog adds the destination IP
address for a specific remote host.
UDP Header
When an event message passes all filtering criteria, syslog adds the destination
UDP port number on the remote host identified in the IP header.
UDP Data
The UDP data field in the Syslog packet contains a reformatted router event
message, plus a priority code required by the remote host. The remote host uses
this information to decide how to handle messages received from a router.
Priority Code
The example of a priority code and its text (Figure C-4
) consists of a facility code
plus an error level code (in the form facility.error).
