Syslog collector status...invalid messages

mohsin.khan · ‎10-04-2007

hi,

In RME->Administration->Syslog Analysis->Syslog Collector Analysis

i see a lot of (almost 40-50%)message count under the "invalid messages" column.

I wonder if this needs to be considered seriously, and if yes, please guide me as to what steps do i need to take in order to solve this..

Is this on Windows? If so, its writing the daemon manager messages to Syslog and these are the invalid syslog messages which is nothing to worry about.

However, look at your syslog.log file and see what messages may be in there if you want.
