All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class SyslogPacketInEvent

extends java.util.EventObject

Fires whenever a system log packet is received.

System log packets are composed of three main sections, each of which can be broken down into two smaller pieces.

The first section is the PRI, which contains the originating FacilityCode and SeverityCode of the Message . FacilityCode is a value from 0 to 23, with each value being a different part of the system. Facility is a string representation of FacilityCode based on the following convention:

0

Kernel messages

1

User-level messages

2

Mail system

3

System daemons

4

Security/authorization messages

5

Messages generated internally by syslogd

6

Line printer subsystem

7

Network news subsystem

8

UUCP subsystem

9

Clock daemon

10

Security/authorization messages

11

FTP daemon

12

NTP subsystem

13

Log audit

14

Log alert

15

Clock daemon

16

18

20

SeverityCode is a value from 0 to 7. Severity is a string representation of SeverityCode using the following convention:

0

Emergency - the system is unusable.

1

Alert - action must be taken immediately.

2

Critical - critical conditions exist.

3

Error - error conditions exist.

4

Warning - warning conditions exist.

5

Notice - normal but significant condition.

6

Informational - informative message.

7

Debug - debug-level messages.

The second section contains the Timestamp and Hostname . Timestamp is a string that should conform to the standard structure "MMM DD, HH:MM:SS". The bean will search for the Timestamp and verify that it conforms. If it conforms, the bean will set Hostname , otherwise, everything after the PRI will be placed in Message .

If Conforms is TRUE, then the original syslog packet conforms to the syslog RFC and Timestamp , Hostname , and Message will all have valid values. Otherwise, you should parse the contents of Packet to verify the fields manually.

SourceAddress and SourcePort are the address and port from which Packet was sent. This can be an intermediate syslog server that is simply forwarding packets from the original host.
