Full info is on the PM2 ComOS 3.5 release notes....

exact page is:

http://www.livingston.com/Tech/Docs/Release/release35o.shtml

excerpt:

Syslog messages can be redirected

In releases prior to ComOS 3.5, packet filter logging went to the loghost
at AUTH facility and NOTICE priority, and all other
logging was done to the AUTH facility at INFO priority. In ComOS 3.5, the
facility and priority can be set for each of five
types of logged events.

To display the current syslog settings, use the "show syslog" command. The
default settings are displayed in this example:

Command> show syslog
Syslog Configuration Settings
admin-logins: auth.info
user-logins: auth.info
packet-filters: auth.notice
commands: disabled
termination: disabled

To change the syslog settings, use the "set syslog Logtype Where" command.
Logtype is one of the following: admin-logins,
user-logins, packet-filters, commands, or termination. Where is either the
keyword "disabled", indicating not to send that type
of message to syslog, or a facility and priority separated by a period.
For example, to log all commands issued on the
PortMaster to the LOCAL0 facility at DEBUG priority use the command

Command> set syslog commands local0.debug
