5.3.13 Configuring the event list
Events → Event List
The Teleport integration unit has a wide range of capabilities to ensure
convenient administration. The key feature is the ability to provide an administrator
with instant notifications about the events through various tools, such as Syslog,
SMTP (e-mail) or SNMP Trap.
The integration unit may be adjusted to respond only to certain events to which an
appropriate level of significance is assigned (only for the Syslog protocol). Levels range
from 0 to 7, where 0 is the highest level of significance.
Figure 5.3.13 Event list
The following range of levels is generally accepted:
(0) Emergency
: the system is inoperable
(1) Alert
: the system requires immediate intervention
(2) Critical
: the state of the system is critical
(3) Error
: error messages
(4) Warning
: warnings about possible problems
(5) Notice
: messages of normal, but important events
(6) Informational
: information messages
(7) Debug
: debugging messages
Such separation of events significance levels allows to process the events
differently on the server side. For example, messages about level 6 and 7 events can
simply be recorded in the event log, while messages about level 0-3 events will be
shown to the operator.
The settings are divided into subgroups by the following categories:
System
– change the system state (restart, update, reset to factory settings,
etc.)
Inputs
— event in case of changing the state of inputs
Outputs
— event in case of changing the state of outputs
