Understanding Remote Logging
The Kernel Log is a comprehensive list of system events (shown in the System Log)
and kernel messages, such as error conditions like dropping frames.
and kernel messages, such as error conditions like dropping frames.
You cannot view Kernel Log messages directly from the Administration Web UI for
an access point. You must first set up a remote server running a syslog process and
acting as a syslog “log relay host” on your network. Then, you can configure the
9160 G2 Wireless Gateway to send its syslog messages to the remote server.

Using a remote server to collect access point syslog messages affords you several

•
Aggregate syslog messages from multiple access points.
•
Store a longer history of messages than kept on a single access point.
•
Trigger scripted management operations and alerts.
