Definitions of Managed Objects for Mapping SYSLOG Messages to
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Notifications
Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines a mapping of SYSLOG messages to Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications.
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

1. Introduction
SNMP ([RFC3410], [RFC3411]) and SYSLOG [RFC5424] are two widely used
protocols to communicate event notifications. Although co-existence
of several management protocols in one operational environment is
possible, certain environments require that all event notifications
be collected by a single system daemon, such as a SYSLOG collector or
an SNMP notification receiver, via a single management protocol. In
such environments, it is necessary to translate event notifications
between management protocols.
This document defines an SNMP MIB module to represent SYSLOG messages
and to send SYSLOG messages as SNMP notifications to SNMP
notification receivers.
2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
