syslog MIB (ap-slog.mib)

The following table describes the SNMP GET query names for the syslog MIB (ap-slog.mib).

Note:

Form the Object Identifier (OID) Number by concatenating the OID of apSyslogBasic (1.3.6.1.4.1.9148.3.1.1.1) with the OID termination number.

SNMP GET Query Name	Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9148.3.1.1.1 +	Description
apSyslogNotificationsSent	.1	Number of apSyslogMessageGenerated notifications sent. This number may include notifications that were prevented from being transmitted due to reasons such as resource limitations and/or non-connectivity. If one is receiving notifications, one can periodically poll this object to determine if any notifications were missed. If so, a poll of the apSyslogHistoryTable might be appropriate.
apSyslogNotificationsEnabled	.2	Information about whether or not apSyslogMessageGenerated notifications will be sent when a syslog message is generated by the device. Disabling notifications does not prevent syslog messages from being added to the apSyslogHistoryTable.
apSyslogMaxLevel	.3	Information about which syslog severity levels will be processed. Any syslog message with a log-level value greater than this value will be ignored by the syslog agent. Note that severity numeric values increase as their severity decreases (for example, major (3) is more severe than debug (9).
apSyslogMsgIgnores	.4	Number of syslog messages which were ignored, meaning that there is no need to send an apSyslogMessageGenerated notification. A message will be ignored if it has a log level value greater than the apSyslogMaxLevel value.
apSyslogMsgDrops	.5	Number of syslog messages which could not be processed due to lack of system resources. Most likely, this will occur at the same time that syslog messages are generated to indicate this lack of resources. Increases in this object's value may serve as an indication that system resource levels should be examined via other MIB objects. A message that is dropped will not appear in the history table, and no notification will be sent for this message.

Note:

Form the Object Identifier (OID) Number by concatenating the OID of apSyslogHistory (1.3.6.1.4.1.9148.3.1.1.2) with the OID termination number.

SNMP GET Query Name	Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9148.3.1.1.2 +	Description
apSyslogHistTableMaxLength	.1	Upper limit for the number of entries that the apSyslogHistoryTable may contain. A value of 0 will prevent any history from being retained. When the apSyslogHistoryTable is full, the oldest entry will be deleted and a new one will be created.
apSyslogHistMsgsFlushed	.2	Number of entries that have been removed from the apSyslogHistoryTable in order to make room for new entries. Use this to determine whether the polling frequency on the history table is fast enough and/or if the size of the history table is large enough such that messages are not missed.

Note:

Form the Object Identifier (OID) Number by concatenating the OID of apSyslogHistoryEntry (1.3.6.1.4.1.9148.3.1.1.2.3) with the OID termination number.

SNMP GET Query Name	Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9148.3.1.1.2.3 +	Description
apSyslogHistIndex	.1	Monotonically increasing integer for the sole purpose of indexing messages. When it reaches the maximum value, the agent wraps the value back to 1.
apSyslogHistFrom	.2	Process name and host of the sending client (for example, [e-mail])
apSyslogHistLevel	.3	Log level of the message.
apSyslogHistType	.4	Textual identification for the log type, which categorizes the log message.
apSyslogHistContent	.5	Text of the syslog message. If the text of the message exceeds 255 bytes, it is truncated to 255 bytes.
apSyslogHistTimestamp	.6	Value of sysUpTime when this message was generated.
