Cisco Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway

Task 16: Configuring Logging (Optional)

The following configuration enables event logs to be sent to an external logging server using the SYSLOG protocol.

■

The Local event log verbosity setting controls the granularity of event logging. 1 is the least verbose, 4 the
most.

■

We recommend a minimum level of 2. This provides both system and basic signaling message logging.

The VCS Expressway needs further firewall / NAT configuration for external logging. See

Appendix 3: Firewall and

NAT Settings, page 59

for details.

To configure a logging server:

Go to Maintenance > Logging.

Configure the fields as follows:

VCS Control

VCS Expressway

Local event log verbosity

Remote syslog server 1: Address

Enter 10.0.0.13

Remote syslog server 1: Message Format

IETF syslog format

Click Save.

Task 17: Configuring Registration Restriction Policy (Optional)

You can limit the aliases that endpoints can register, using either an Allow list or a Deny list. This is an example of
how to configure Allow list registration restrictions:

Go to Configuration > Registration > Allow List.

Click New.
