Can syslog alerts be emailed? Can you customize what syslog alerts should be sent?
Yes, Syslog alerts are configured similar to other alerts in Orion and an email action is one of the options. Within that email alert you have the option to send the syslog message that tripped the alert as a variable.
Which syslogs trip the alert is completely customizable using regular expression.
Hope this helps.
In case you are curious how to configure these syslog alerts, go to the console of your primary Orion server and launch the Syslog Viewer application. Once in there click on View --> Alerts/Filter Rules.
Once in there you can create syslog alert rules. Keep in mind that these rules are processed in the order in which they appear in the list and as an alert you have the option to stop them from processing against further rules as well as keeping them from getting logged to the DB and kept. Managing these options becomes important for your rules to function properly.
I do not see the View --> alerts/filter rule options from the syslog menue in orion.
Nevermind. You meant the actually physical server not the orion we web console. Thanks.
Whoa, can you point me to some documents on how to configure this?
