이벤트

A user can verify current events generated in SMT-R2000 on this page. (see Event).

This page provides an option to activate "Remote Log Relay Host" to capture errors showing on the kernel log and all system events. (For this settings, the remote log relay host settings are required. See Kernel Message for Remote Log Relay Host)

For Log Relay

Note	SMT-R2000 obtains information on date and time using Network Time Protocol (NTP). Time information is stored in UTC format known as Greenwich Mean Time. Therefore, the stored time information should be modified to user's local time. For information on NTP settings, see NTP Server Setting.

For Remote Login

For Remote Login

The kernel log is a wide ranging list including kernel messages such as error conditions, and system events (see System Log).

Kernel log messages are directly verified through the administrator web interface of the related AP. First, it should be set up as the syslog is operated as "Log Relay Host" in a remote server. Then it is available to set up as SMT-R2000 transfers the syslog message to the remote server.

When collecting syslog messages of an AP using a remote server, a user can take some advantages as follows:

Collects syslog messages from various APs.

Stores messages older than those stored to one AP.

Performs management and errors in the form of script.

Log Relay Host Setting

To use the Kernel Log Relay function, the remote server should be set up as being received syslog messages. The method of setting up the remote server varies according to the remote log host used by a user. The following is an example of setting up a remote Linux server using syslog daemon.

It is available to activate the syslog daemon of the Linux server according to the following procedure. For this, the authority for root account is required.

The following works needs the authority for root account. If not logged in in root account, enter su to the command line to acquire the authority for root ("super user").

Add "-r" next to the SYSLOGD variable on the top of the/etc/init.d/sysklogd file.

SYSLOGD="-r"

Information on syslogd command option can be obtained using the man page. (Enter man syslogd into the command line.)

To all messages to the file, modify the /etc/syslog.conf file.

As an example, if storing a log file naming "AP_syslog", add the following command:

*.* -/tmp/AP_syslog

If using the man page, information on the option of syslog.conf is obtained. (Enter man syslog.conf to the command line.)

Enter the following command to the command line to restart the syslog server.

/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart


Note	The syslog process uses port 514 basically. It is recommended to use the basic port. However, if desired to modify this log port, check if the port allocated to the syslog is not used for other processes.

Activation/Deactivation of Log Relay Function > Event Page

To activate and set up the log relay function on the Status > Event page, set up the log relay option and click the Update button as described below:

If activating the event log relay function, the remote logging is activated when clicking Update. The related AP will transfer kernel messages to the remote log server in real time.

If the event log relay function is not used, the remote login is deactivated when clicking Update.

Event

Items	Description
Event Log Relay	Select if activating or deactivating the log relay host. If selecting the check box of the relay log, the log relay host is activated and it is available to modify the IP address and port items of the relay server.
Relay Host	Set up the IP address or DNS of the relay host.
Relay Port	Set up the port that the syslog process of the relay server is to use. The basic port is 514.

Event shows system events on the AP, which are the same to those where stations are connected and authenticated. The real-time event is verified on Status > Event of the AP administrator web page
