The LoadMaster can produce various warning and error messages using the syslog protocol. These messages are normally stored locally.

It is also possible to configure the LoadMaster to transmit these error messages to a remote syslog server by entering the relevant IP address in the Syslog host text box, selecting the severity and clicking Add Syslog Host. Six different error message levels are defined. Each level of message may be sent to a different host server.

Notice messages are sent for information only. Emergency messages normally require immediate user action.

Note: To enable a syslog process on a remote Linux server to receive syslog messages from the LoadMaster, the syslog must be started with the “-r” flag.
