After the hardware self-test, the DX Storage operating system boots and prints an on screen

message that says the storage node is running. This on screen message confirms that the node has

booted completely and displays the IP address for the node.

4.4. Using Syslog

A syslog server can be used to capture critical operational alerts from nodes in a DX Storage

cluster. When using a syslog server, the DX Storage nodes send log messages under facility

LOCAL6 on the default syslog port UDP/514. For more information, see the description of the

loghost

and

loglevel

parameters in the DX Object Storage Administration Guide.
