In setting up our many ZDs and APs to log messages to our Syslog server, i was supprised to find that neither include the "device name" in the syslog messages device sends out. Thus on the receiving syslog server, its impossible/difficult to figure out which device is sending which messages.
additionally, when you look at the device local syslog messages (via on device support info), it *does* include the device namem under "System Log" (which is at the very bottom).
Please correct me if im wrong or missing somewhere where i can enable this (or modify the Ruckus devices' /etc/syslogd.conf). I even ran a pkt capture to verify that the raw syslog messages being sent out didnt include device name, and they dont.
Otherwise this is a feature/option ruckus should strongly consider adding asap.
thanks
example (from support info / debug logs):
(the AP device name = r710-UPstairs-RuckusAP
Jul 14 19:36:23 r710-UPstairs-RuckusAP authpriv.notice dropbear[3769]: Deferring to RKS shell to authenticate password.
VS below is what the AP sends out to a syslog server:
Jul 14 19:36:23 dropbear[2440]: Deferring to RKS shell to authenticate password..
btw,
for anyone looking to change the remote syslog level (on an AP from CLi/SSH)
set syslog network 7
(or run set syslog
to see different level options)
