Create syslog event for testing

Michael_M — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 18:55:01 GMT

I cant seem to find a CLI command to create a syslog event to see if it is getting reported to my XIQ-SE server properly or not.

Im sure there has to be a command to create a "Test" event\message that would be sent to a syslog server?

There is

create log message "message text"

This inserts the message in the device log. Everything that gets logged and go through your log filter should go to the configured syslog target.

In addition to Adrians,

information on a linux system you can create syslog entries with >logger "message"< on the shell.
