Syslog
Syslog uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to transport event log information from the meter
directly to a centralized syslog server.
The syslog server can receive logs from multiple devices, including meters, then store and filter
the log information as needed. You can use ION Setup to modify the syslog network settings for
your device. Syslog is a useful feature to help maintain meter log information for extended periods
of time.
NOTE: Ethernet is required to use the syslog feature.
Syslog is an open standard allowing you to use any one of a number of syslog server applications
currently available. The decision regarding which syslog server solution to use can be based on
budget and your technical requirements. See the individual syslog server's documentation for
more information.
Configuring Syslog network settings using ION Setup
To configure Syslog network settings using ION Setup:
1. Start ION Setup.
2. Open the Setup Assistant for your meter.
3. Click Communications > Advanced Ethernet > SysLog.
4. Select Enable Syslog and click Edit.
5. Select Yes to enable the syslog server feature or select No to disable it.
6. Click OK.
7. Select Syslog Server and click Edit.
8. Enter the IPv4 address or an IPv6 address for the syslog server.
9. Click OK.
10. Verify that the Syslog server is receiving log information from the meter.
Syslog severity to event log priority mapping
Syslog severities map to ION event priorities (0–255).
Only four of the syslog severities are used in the mapping.

NOTE: You must enter the IP address for the syslog server, not the server's fully-qualified
domain name.
NOTE: If the Enable Syslog register is enabled but the Syslog Server register does not
contain an IP address, an event is generated in the event log to indicate that syslog is
enabled with no server IP.
