[11:09:21] ABILIS_CPX:s act res:syslog

COMMAND EXECUTED

Use the following command to display the parameters of the resource:

[10:54:52] ABILIS_CPX:d p syslog

ACT: enables/disables the resource [NO, YES].
queue-size: Maximum pending SYSLOG requests [32...2048].
RELAY: Activation/deactivation of SYSLOG relay mode.
TOS: enables Type Of Service (TOS) or Differentiated Services Field (DS) [-' p-t', i.e. PRECEDENCE and TOS values, where 'p' can be [0...7] and 't' can be [N (=None), D (=Min. Delay), T (=Max. Throughput), R (=Max. Reliability), C (=Min. Monetary Cost)] - 'bbbbbb', i.e. DS value bit by bit, where 'b' can be [0, 1]].
LOCAL-SEVERITY: Allowed message severities [EMERGENCY, ALERT, CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG, ALL]. Values can be joined using ',' character.
LOCAL-SOURCES: Allowed message sources [SYS, DBG, ALL]. Values can be joined using ',' character.
IPSRC: Selects the IP address of the client from which the requests will be accepted.
IPSRCLIST: Sets the list of DNS Client systems enabled to use the SYSLOG relay service.
SRCADD: Source IP address for outgoing messages [R-ID: the source IP address of the outgoing datagrams will be set to the current RouterID value; OUT-IP: the source IP address of the outgoing datagrams will be set on the base of the output IP interface; 1-126.x.x.x, 128-223.x.x.x: the source IP address of the outgoing datagrams will be set to the selected value; Ip-nnn: use the current IPADD of the specified IP resource].
HOSTNAME: Value of HOSTNAME part of outgoing SYSLOG messages.
HOSTNAME-IP: IP form of HOSTNAME part of outgoing SYSLOG messages. [R-ID: HOSTNAME will be set to the IP address of the current RouterID value; OUT-IP: HOSTNAME will be set to the IP address of output IP interface; 1-126.x.x.x, 128-223.x.x.x: HOSTNAME will be set to the selected IP address.
RECEIVERx: IP address of SYSLOG receiver #x (collector or next relay) to forward SYSLOG messages [#, 1.0.0.0...126.255.255.255, 128.0.0.0...223.255.255.255]
