Syslog is an automatic system for
logging messages from IT equipment.
DLI
power controllers support syslog to track and log events such as logins, outlet switching, power
consumption, etc. To activate syslog on a
DLI power controller, simply
add the IP address of the syslog server on the SETUP page.
Syslog can be
used in combination with
scripting.
For example, you may want to periodically report the power consumption on a
particular Ethernet
Power Controller. By writing a simple script, you can send
periodic reports to a syslog server.
Here's
a popular free syslog server
for Windows. Here's
a step-by-step sylog installation under Linux.
