The New SYSLOGDW Command Enables NetMaster to Write Messages to SYSLOGD

[Bryan Shuman]

To our valued NetMaster Community:​

The new SYSLOGDW command enables users to send messages directly from NetMaster to the logstream of a local or remote UNIX SYSLOG daemon. Once the message is in SYSLOGD, you can use native SYSLOGD tools to work with the NetMaster data. For example, you could use SYSLOGDW-supplied data to create a historical report on insecure connections found by the TCP Security Protocol Enhanced (TCPSECE) event detector. When you define the event detector, you specify SYSLOGDW as a RUN_COMMAND for the alert action. When TCPSECE detects an insecure connection, the alert initiates the SYSLOGDW action, which sends an RFC 5424 (Syslog protocol compliant) message to SYSLOGD. 

​​

To take advantage of SYSLOGDW, apply PTF LU11011. 

For additional information, refer to the New Features article in the product documentation for:

• NetMaster NM for TCP/IP
• NetMaster NM for SNA
• NetMaster Network Automation
• NetMaster File Transfer Management

For details on SYSLOGDW parameters, refer to the 3270 help.

Thank you!
