Syslog

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.
