Syslog Collectors Information
Syslog Collectors Information portlet displays the list of remote Syslog collectors subscribed to the LMS servers. It contains the syslog collector information such as the name of the remote syslog, analyzer name, status and the number of packets received.
Syslog Collector is a service to receive, filter and forward syslogs to one or more Syslog servers. In this way the collectors reduces traffic on the network as well as the processing load on the server.
By default you can only view the remote Syslog analyzer name, status and the number of packets received. However, you can configure the portlet for you to view the other details in the portlet such as the number of packets that are filtered, invalid, dropped, or forwarded.
Table 1-11 lists the Syslog Collectors Information portlet details.
To configure Syslog Collectors Information:
Step 1 Move the mouse over the title bar of the Syslog Collector Step 2 Click the configuration icon. You can:
• Select the minute and hour from the Refresh Every drop-down list to change the Refresh time. The items in the portlet get refreshed at the changed Refresh frequency.
• Select the check box against the type of syslog message (Filtered, Invalid, Dropped, Forwarded) to view the respective columns in the Syslog Collector portlet.
– Filtered—Number of filtered messages. Filters are defined with the option Message Filters option. See Defining Syslog Message Filters for more information.
– Invalid—Number of invalid Syslog messages.
– Dropped—Number of Syslog messages dropped.
– Forwarded—Number of forwarded Syslog messages.
Step 3 Click Save to view the portlet with the configured settings.
