You can set up syslog alerts to send an alert from the VSP One File server to a UNIX system log when a severe or warning or information event occurs. The UNIX system must have its syslog daemon configured to receive remote syslog messages.

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Event Notification Setup > Syslog Alerts Setup.
  2. In the Syslog Alerts Setup page, click the edit icon.
  3. Set the notification frequency for Severe Alerts, Warning Alerts, and Information Alerts to Immediately.
    • A Severe Alert indicates that a VSP One File server component has failed, which is a threat to the functioning of the server.
    • A Warning Alert indicates that a VSP One File server component requires attention, but it is not an immediate threat to the functioning of the server.
    • An Information Alert indicates that a VSP One File server component is operating normally.
  4. Click Save.
After setting up syslog alerts, add syslog servers to receive alerts. For more information, see Adding syslog alerts server
