Log Messages To The Syslog Server - Cisco 8800 Series Manual

Log Messages to the Syslog Server

If the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.200, the command should be similar to the following example:
http://192.168.1.100/admin/resync?tftp://192.168.1.200/basic.txt
When the phone receives this command, the device at address 192.168.1.100 requests the file basic.txt
from the TFTP server at IP address 192.168.1.200. The phone then parses the downloaded file and updates
the GPP_A parameter with the value 12345678.
Step 8 Verify that the parameter was correctly updated: Refresh the configuration page on the PC web browser and
select the Voice > Provisioning tab.
The GPP_A parameter should now contain the value 12345678.
Log Messages to the Syslog Server
If a syslog server is configured on the phone through the use of the parameters, the resync and upgrade
operations send messages to the syslog server. A message can be generated at the start of a remote file request
(configuration profile or firmware load), and at the conclusion of the operation (indicating either success or
failure).
You can also configure the parameters in the phone configuration file with XML(cfg.xml) code. To configure
each parameter, see the syntax of the string in
