Question

What is the format of the syslog messages that are forwarded by Versa Analytics to an external syslog receiver?

Solution

This is the format of syslog message forwarded by Versa Analytics to an external syslog receiver:

2023-06-01T20:10:25+0000 alarmLog, applianceName=Branch-01, tenantName=Seattle, alarmType=interface-down, alarmKey=vni-0/0, generateTime=1685650226, applianceId=1, vsnId=0, tenantId=4, alarmCause=outOfService, alarmClearable=yes, alarmClass=cleared, alarmKind=symptom, alarmEventType=equipmentAlarm, alarmSeverity=cleared, alarmOwner=tenant, alarmSeqNo=15, alarmText="Interface vni-0/0 is up (n/a) ", alarmKeyExt=, serialNum=Branch-01

The above capture has been taken on syslog server. 

The keys are the same, but values vary depending on the alarm type.
