The Solace Syslog Events displays allows you to supervise the last Syslog event messages from the Solace Message Brokers that have been configured for Syslog monitoring. See Solace product documentation for an in depth description of Syslog monitoring in Solace products and how to configure Message Brokers and the Syslog destination.
These displays require the Solace Event Module from the RTView Solace Monitor to be properly configured with a Syslog destination and running. Displays in this View are:
Syslog Events Table: A tabular view of all available data for all Syslog events configured on a specific broker.
Syslog Event Summary: Expanded/Summary information for a single Syslog event.
This display lists all Syslog events collected from all Solace brokers. Each row in the table is a different message. Use the drop-down menus to filter the list by Connection, Scope and alert Severity level. Filter messages per single broker or all brokers. Click a column header to sort column data in numerical, alphabetical or chronological order. Click a row to investigate the Syslog event in the Syslog Event Summary display.
Search by clicking the right side of a column heading/Filter to open the Search, Sort and Choose Columns dialog:

Severity: |
