Introduction
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) provides several diagnostic tools to aid in troubleshooting and
monitoring the environment. These tools include: command line debug statements, syslog, and SNMP (Call
home is another diagnostic/reporting tool). Syslog is the mechanism for processes and scripts to write log
entries. The callers can fully specify all of the log entries' characteristics.
A syslog daemon in the system captures logs and saves them in a rotating buffer. These logs can be viewed
internally or exported to syslog collectors. Multiple syslog collectors can be specified through configuration.
