The discovered resources must be configured to forward the syslog messages to the IMS server so as to enable syslog monitoring. This section provides samples of Syslog forwarding for a Linux box and a router device
Forwarding Syslog Messages from a Linux Device
1. Log on to the Linux device (whose messages you want to forward to the IMS server) as a super user.
2. Enter the command - vi /etc/syslog.conf to open the configuration file called syslog.conf.
3. Enter *.* and press the Tab key and enter the name of the host machine where the server is running.
4. Restart the syslog service using the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart.
Forwarding Syslog Messages from a Router
1. Telnet to the router machine as telnet <router>.
2. Type the command enable at the prompt to set to 'enable' mode.
3. You will be prompted to enter the password. Enter the correct password.
4. Now, type the command config at the prompt.
5. Choose terminal configuration.
6. After this, type logging <Sapphire-IMS Server IP Address> at the command prompt. For example, logging <192.168.5.120>. This is done to enable forwarding of messages to SapphireIMS.
