APC ACRP100 User Manual

Leave the Syslog settings, except the Server IP settings, set to their defaults unless otherwise specified 
by the Syslog network or system administrator.

Message 
Generation

Enables (by default) or disables the Syslog feature. 

Facility Code Selects the facility code assigned to the cooling unit’s Syslog messages (User, by 

default).

Note: User is the selection that best defines the Syslog messages sent by the cooling 
unit. Do not change this selection unless advised to do so by the Syslog network or 
system administrator.

Severity 
Mapping

Maps each of the severity levels assigned to cooling unit

 

events to the available Syslog 

priorities. You should not need to change the default mappings.

The following definitions are from RFC3164:
• Emergency: The system is unusable
• Alert: Action must be taken immediately
• Critical: Critical conditions
• Error: Error conditions
• Warning: Warning conditions
• Notice: Normal but significant conditions
• Informational: Informational messages
• Debug: Debug-level messages

Following are the default settings for the four Local Priority settings:
• Critical is mapped to Critical
• Warning is mapped to Warning
• Informational is mapped to Info

Note: To disable sending Syslog messages for Critical, Warning, or 
Informational events, see “Configuring event actions” on page 49.
