Is there any way to send the Event Logs to a syslog server?

Local carrier is having issues, but wants to see local modem logs before they’ll open a Support ticket.

Hello EdV,

In regards to your question, there is no direct options to share/send event logs to syslog server directly. However, we have an other option where we can copy the event logs information and send it as an email to syslog IT admin for assistance. 

Please use the below method where you can check and copy the event log to share/send the e-mail to your preferred team. 

 

How do I access the System Event Log on my S33 cable modem?
Answer
The S33 generates a running log of time and events detected during cable modem operation.  This information is used by cable Internet service technician to diagnose any problems that may occur with the modem.  The System Event Log displays the current status of the cable modem in chronological order.  The three types of field descriptions are: 
  • Date/Time - Indicates the date and time the event occurred.
  • Event Level - Indicates the level of importance of the event.
  • Description - Provides a brief definition of the event.
This document describes how to access the System Event Log page in the S33.


Access System Event Log

NOTE
: If the S33 is connected to a router, it is recommended to disconnect the router and connect the S33 directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable.
  1. Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.  Enter http://192.168.100.1 into the address box, and press the Enter key.  The Login page will appear.

    NOTE: A security or private risk alert may appear on the web browser advising users to proceed with caution when accessing the Web Manager. There is no risk in proceeding to the Web Manager.  For instructions to by-pass the alert screen, refer to article # 18181 - Alert Message for Web Manager Access.
     
  2. On the Login page, enter admin in the Username field.
     
  3. Enter a customized password or the default admin password in the Password field.

    NOTE: If this is the first time login to the Web Manager, the default password could be password or the last 8-digit of the serial number.  It is required to set a unique password to proceed to the Web Manager.  For assistance with Web Manager Access, refer to article # 18552 – S33: Web Manager Access.

Well, darn.

Guess I’ll have to eBay the modems.

They’re going to be used for remote offices where the end-users are not tech savvy, so the method you link is not possible.

The ongoing search for a SOHO Cable Modem continues...
