Poller Configuration

Now configure NMIS slaves pollers to send their logs through syslog to your master server. To run events through syslog check this config setting:
'syslog_events' => 'true'

...

This will use the Common-events model to determine which events should be sent as syslogs, by default all events will be sent, except for some of those events for deleted interfaces, etc.

Testing

On the slave poller run: 

[root@slaveroot@poller nmis8]#/usr/local/nmis8/admin/testsyslog.pl
