Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Event management system (EMS)
  • Syslog
  • Common Event Format (CEF)
  • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
  • Log Event Extended Format (LEEF)

Answer

  • Syslog is a defined standard for computer message logging
  • The standard is defined by the IETF in RFC 3164 and RFC 5424
  • The EMS is ONTAP messaging facility built on the syslog standard
  • CEF is a syslog alternative developed by ArcSight
  • SIEM alternatives (CEF, LEEF, etc) other than syslog cannot be used with ONTAP
