By default, the sensor will turn into a Warning status after a scanning interval has finished and there was at least one warning message (and no error message) during this interval. Note: Messages are collected until a scanning interval ends as long as the scanning interval is running, no status change will happen. For more information, see section Filter Rules. To categorize received messages as warning messages, define filters using a special syntax. ĭefine which types of syslog messages will count for the Warnings channel. To exclude specific types of messages, define filters using a special syntax. ĭefine which types of syslog messages will be discarded and not processed. To include specific types of messages only, define filters using a special syntax. If you leave this field empty or use the keyword " any ", all data will be processed. Note: If not set explicitly in a sensor's settings, it will connect to the IP Address or DNS Name defined in the settings of the parent device the sensor is created on.ĭefine if you want to filter syslog messages. On the sensor's details page, click on the Settings tab to change settings. You can change all settings in the sensor's Settings tab later. Therefore, you will not see all setting fields in this dialog. It only shows the setting fields that are imperative for creating the sensor. The Add Sensor dialog appears when adding a new sensor on a device manually. Be aware that this type of sensor can be removed again from PRTG at any time. Do not expect that all functions will work properly, or that this sensor works as expected at all. The methods of operating can change at any time, as well as the available settings. Important notice: Currently, this sensor type is in beta status. You can set it up on a local probe or remote probe only, not on a cluster probe.įor a general introduction to the syslog receiver's configuration, please see section Monitoring Syslogs and SNMP Traps.

Note: This sensor type cannot be used in cluster mode. Providing a DNS name that points to the IP address of a whole group might not work for SANs.

For example, if you want to receive syslogs from a Storage Area Network (SAN), you might have to add a device to PRTG using the IP address of a specific array member that sends the messages. Note: If you do not add the sensor to a probe device but to another device in PRTG, be careful with the configuration: Ensure that the IP address or DNS name of the parent device matches the proper syslog sender. See the More section below for more information about placeholders.

You can use syslog specific placeholders in email notification templates to see the messages when you receive an email notification. Alternatively, you can add the sensor to a specific device to gain all messages from this device directly this will make this sensor type faster than just using source filters. You can add the sensor to the probe device on the one hand then the sensor will receive all messages of the system running the probe. The received data will be available on your respective probe system as common files, as well as via the web interface. The messages are stored in an internal database for later analysis. Depending on the filters, received messages will be counted in the respective channels. With the available filter options, you can define individually which types of messages will be considered for monitoring and thus stored, and which messages will be recognized as warning or error messages. It shows the overall number of received syslog messages per second, warning and error messages per second, as well as the number of dropped packets per second. The Syslog Receiver sensor receives and analyzes syslog messages.
