Description: Configures syslog server destinations, severity filters, and log-forwarding settings on Paradyne xDSL access equipment.

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 PDN-SYSLOG-MIB?

PDN-SYSLOG-MIB is a Paradyne (PDN) vendor MIB for configuring syslog forwarding on Paradyne xDSL access equipment, letting an operator define remote syslog server destinations, ports, severity thresholds, and per-entity logging settings. It exposes both scalar syslog configuration objects and a table (pdnSyslogTable, extended by pdnEntitySyslogTable) for per-entity syslog destinations in multi-entity chassis. This is a logging/configuration-status MIB: monitoring it confirms whether syslog forwarding is correctly configured and active (pdnSyslogStatus, pdnSyslogRemoteDaemon), which severity level is being filtered (pdnSyslogSeverityThreshold), and view recent logged messages (pdnSyslogMessage) directly from SNMP, which helps confirm log delivery is working without needing separate syslog server access. It depends on the standard Entity MIB for entity-indexed logging via pdnEntitySyslogTable in multi-slot/multi-entity systems. It is deployed on Paradyne xDSL access multiplexers/modems in telecom access networks. Engineers can download the PDN-SYSLOG-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PDN-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.

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll pdnSyslogIPAddr and pdnSyslogPort to confirm the configured syslog server destination, and check pdnSyslogStatus and pdnSyslogRemoteDaemon to verify forwarding is enabled and reaching the daemon. If expected log messages aren't arriving at the central syslog server, checking pdnSyslogSeverityThreshold for an overly restrictive filter level would explain missing lower-severity events. pdnSyslogTable/pdnSyslogEntry entries (pdnSyslogNumber, pdnSyslogMessage) could be read directly via SNMP to see recent log entries, and pdnEntitySyslogTable checked in a chassis with multiple entities to confirm each has its own destination configured.

What Can Be Monitored

syslog server IP address and port
syslog forwarding status
severity threshold filter
remote daemon reachability
recent syslog messages
per-entity syslog configuration

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
pdnSyslog	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1			1)Added pdnEntitySyslogTable to be used for entities 2)Added conformance statements.
INT pdnSyslogStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	This value allows user to disable or enable syslog event generation.
IP pdnSyslogIPAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.2	IpAddress	read-write	This value is the IP address of a syslog server. If the ip address is known then this can be used for the remote syslog daemon
INT pdnSyslogLevel	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	This value corresponds to a minimum severity level of events that will be logged.
I32 pdnSyslogPort	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.4	Integer32	read-write	This value corresponds to a UDP port number to which system events are sent. The default is 514.
INT pdnSyslogSeverityThreshold	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.5	INTEGER	read-write	This value corresponds to a minimum severity level that a syslog messages can be set. All syslog message with an enum value greater than the threshold will not be sent. The values are obtain from the RFC 3164 The BSD Syslog Protocol: emerg (0) - Emergency: system is unusable alert (1) - Alert: action must be taken immediately critical (2) - Critical: critical conditions error (3) - Error: error conditions warning (4) - Warning: warning conditions notice (5) - Notice: normal but significant condition info (6) - Informational: informational messages debug (7) - Debug: debug-level messages For a more complete description of the severity levels, please reference your Operation Specification Manual for details pertaining to that product.
INT pdnSyslogRemoteDaemon	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.6	INTEGER	read-write	This value allows user to disable or enable syslog messages going to a remote daemon.
pdnSyslogTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.7		not-accessible	This table supports retrieval of the syslog messages.
pdnSyslogEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.7.1		not-accessible	An entry in the pdnSyslogTable.
I32 pdnSyslogNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.7.1.1	Integer32	not-accessible	This is a sequentially increasing index of syslog messages starting at 1. When the table reaches its maximum size (as defined by pdnSyslogMaxTableSize) then the oldest message will be dropped without renumbering any messages that remain. The index is reset to 1 on a device reset or when the table is cleared (using pdnSyslogClearTable).
OCT pdnSyslogMessage	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.7.1.2	OCTET STRING	read-only	The text of the syslog message.

I32 pdnSyslogMaxTableSize	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.9	Integer32	read-only	The maximum number of syslog message the syslog table can hold.
INT pdnSyslogClearTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.10	INTEGER	read-write	Clears all the entries in the syslog message table.
INT pdnSyslogMsgToConsole	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.11	INTEGER	read-write	This allows messages to be sent to the device's console port. Note this is intended for debug use only! It is not recommended to be used to monitor syslog message on a regular bases. If one needs to constantly monitor the syslog messages, then they should use the remote syslog daemon, or other user interfaces.

pdnEntitySyslogTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.1795.2.24.2.31.1.13		not-accessible	This table supports retrieval of the syslog messages. Each entry corresponds to a message being generated by (or on behalf of) an entity (e.g. port card).
