Hi, There is a discussion about netconf notification messages going on in the netconf WG. Part of the discussion is about carrying syslog content in netconf notifications. It might be useful to have some syslog experts monitor and contribute to the discussion.

Certainly an option. Having a subcription mechanism is actually for me an important feature. Some 12 years ago, we hacked our central syslog daemon to actually ship syslog messages once you connected to it and it was a lovely hack which we used a lot (since it makes access to syslog message real simply for programs). On the classification question: I think you can put anything into syslog, so the distinction between syslog messages, configuration change notifications, or SNMP notifications is kind of artificial. In fact, it seems popular in many operational environments to have SNMP notification receivers which simply write to syslog, probably because there are also pretty nice syslog readers that can trigger all sorts of actions when they discover certain input patterns. If we do an interim, it would be valuable to get some syslog experts there as well so that we can evaluate whether structured syslog and syslog enhancements will actually solve the problem. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder International University Bremen <http://www.eecs.iu-bremen.de/> P.O.
