Notifications Enable (Notifications Enable)

Indicates whether clogMessageGenerated notifications will or will not be sent when a syslog message is generated by the device. Disabling notifications does not prevent syslog messages from being added to the clogHistoryTable.

Log Size (clogHistTableMaxLength)

The upper limit on the number of entries that the clogHistoryTable may contain. A value of 0 will prevent any history from being retained. When this table is full, the oldest entry will be deleted and a new one will be created.

Logging Level (clogMaxSeverity)

Indicates which syslog severity levels will be processed: emergency (1), alert (2), critical (3), error (4), warning (5), notice (6), info (7), or debug (8). Any syslog message with a severity value greater than these values are ignored by the agent. Note: severity numeric values increase as their severity decreases, e.g., error (4) is more sever than debug (8).

Facility (clogHistFacility)

The name of the facility that generated this message, e.g., SYS.

Severity (clogHistSeverity)

Indicates the severity of the message; emergency (1), alert (2), critical (3), error (4), warning (5), notice (6), info (7), or debug (8). Any syslog message with a severity value greater than these values are ignored by the agent.

Message Name (clogHistMsgName)

A textual identification of the message type.

Message Text (clogHistMsgText)

The message itself.

Message Time (clogHistTimestamp)

Indicates the sysUpTime at which this message was generated.
