syslogMsgMsg
Module: SYSLOG-MSG-MIB
OID (symbolic): SYSLOG-MSG-MIB::syslogMsgMsg
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.192.1.2.1.11
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: OCTET STRING
Access: read-only
Description: The message part of the SYSLOG message. The syntax does not impose a size restriction. Implementations of this MIB module may truncate the message part of the SYSLOG message such that it fits into the size constraints imposed by the implementation environment. Such truncations can also happen elsewhere in the SYSLOG forwarding chain.
If the first octets contain the value 'EFBBBF'h, then the rest of the message is a UTF-8 string. Since SYSLOG messages may be truncated at arbitrary octet boundaries during forwarding, the message may contain invalid UTF-8 encodings at the end.
What is syslogMsgMsg?
Holds the actual free-text message part of this syslog entry, per RFC 5424, with implementations allowed to truncate it to fit local size constraints. Admins read this to see the human-readable content of the log event itself, which carries the actual diagnostic detail beyond the structured facility/severity/hostname fields. An admin investigating a device fault would pull syslogMsgMsg for the relevant entry to read the exact error text the device generated, such as an interface-down or authentication-failure message.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.192.1.2.1.11 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SYSLOG-MSG-MIB::syslogMsgMsg
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.192.1.2.1.11.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SYSLOG-MSG-MIB::syslogMsgMsg.1
