Hi,

Please refer this link.

my opinion is :
I think you have to install HP-Openview NNM for the same.

On The UNIX side, virtually none if you can take the defaults.. but if you need to to customize, edit /etc/syslog.conf and start off with enabling all alerts & levels (see man page for syslog/syslogd for what level and facility you want.

Then on your CISCO/whatever network element (ie. another server, switch. router, print server) that supports syslog .. you just simply point them SYSLOG to whatever IP address/DNS entry of your designated UNIX Syslog Server.

On large enterprises, I usually recommend a dedicated SYSLOG server that has sufficient storage and LOG filtering/rotation in place.
