Syslog display wrong information

[JohanHendrikx]

I have configured my switch to send messages to the syslog server (XMC).

configure syslog add :514 vr VR-Default local0
configure log target syslog :514 vr VR-Default local0 from
enable log target syslog :514 vr VR-Default local0
configure log target syslog :514 vr VR-Default local0 filter DefaultFilter severity Info
configure log target syslog :514 vr VR-Default local0 match Any
configure log target syslog :514 vr VR-Default local0 format timestamp seconds date dd-mm-yyyy event-name none tag-id tag-name

The information I see in syslog is see screencopy

I see the wrong info at source , client an the information isn't right (starts with minutes and seconds).

The syslog information is still not correct. I've change the syslogmanager in XMC to Red HAT Linux syslog pattern with no luck.

Who has the answer?

Hi. I guess you migrated from windows to linux or Virtual machine or opposite or simillar. The log file where the text syslog is present is parsed based on configured setting = xmc does expect some format. You can change the parsing . If you go to OneView -> Alarms & Events ~> the last tab (if I remember well Log Manager) -> then you need to find syslog and edit the format. Regards Z.

I noticed that when you change the syntax the output is different.

configure log target syslog 10.2.112.1:514 vr VR-Default local0 format timestamp seconds date none event-name none tag-id tag-name.

What is the right syntax
