syslogMaxMessageSize

Module: DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB

OID (symbolic): DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogMaxMessageSize

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Unsigned32

Access: read-write

Description: The the maximum size of the syslog messages in bytes.

What is syslogMaxMessageSize?

This is the maximum size in bytes a syslog message is allowed to be, defaulting to 1024. Increasing it lets the device forward longer log entries (e.g. verbose debug output) without truncation, at the cost of more bandwidth per message.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogMaxMessageSize

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DRAFT-IETF-SYSLOG-MIB::syslogMaxMessageSize.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.999999.1.5.1 i <value>
