Description: Manages syslog message configuration, severity filtering, and remote logging for Dell Networking.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is DELL-NETWORKING-SYSLOG-MIB?
DELL-NETWORKING-SYSLOG-MIB is a Dell Networking OS enterprise MIB that manages syslog configuration on Dell switches/routers, covering remote logging server settings and severity-level filtering for system log messages. Its general category is logging/configuration management rather than performance counters. Its principal monitoring value is software status: it defines notification objects (dellNetSyslogNotifications/dellNetSyslogTraps) that let the device forward its own log-worthy software and hardware events as SNMP traps to a management station, bridging syslog-level event visibility into the SNMP monitoring pipeline. It is a Dell-proprietary companion to the standard SNMPv2 notification framework rather than a replacement for standard interface or hardware MIBs. Typical deployment is a Dell Networking switch configured to both write local syslog and emit SNMP traps for critical log events to a central NMS. Engineers can download the DELL-NETWORKING-SYSLOG-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DELL-NETWORKING-SYSLOG-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Dell Networking (Force10-based) switch/router
Monitoring Examples
An admin would enable dellNetSyslogNotifications so that dellNetSyslogTraps are emitted whenever a qualifying syslog message (e.g. a hardware fault or configuration change logged at high severity) occurs, giving near-real-time SNMP visibility into events that would otherwise only appear in the local syslog buffer. Because no full object/table set beyond the notification objects was provided, more granular severity-filter or remote-server configuration objects cannot be named with confidence.
What Can Be Monitored
- syslog trap/notification events
