SNMP traps and Syslog messages

The console server may be configured to send notification for system events using the following modes of delivery:

SNMP traps - System events are routed and logged in the DSView 3 software event database, and optionally in the SNMP management systems.
Syslog - System events are logged in the DSView 3 software event database.

To configure SNMP traps and syslog:

1. In a Units View window containing an ACS 5000 console server, click Appliance Settings - Events - Traps/Syslog in the side navigation bar.
2. Activate the desired events and click the Enable SNMP Trap or Enable Syslog notification mode. You may use the Filter field to display events that contain your search string.
If you enabled Syslog notification mode, make sure you enable the SSH server and the Syslog server by selecting System - Data Logging - SysLog Server and System - DSView Server - Data Logging - Server Settings.
If you enabled SNMP trap notification mode, specify trap destinations under Appliance Settings - SNMP - Destinations.
3. Click Flash Required to save your changes to the console server Flash memory.
