Information associated with a port security state of a network device is received. The received information is converted into an icon that corresponds to the port security state of the network device. The icon is displayed to a user.

Graphical representation of a port security state

A method for validating a syslog message having a plurality of message components. The method includes providing a meta regular expression. The meta regular expression is formed from a set of regular expressions with each of the regular expressions corresponding to one of the plurality of message components. The meta-regular expression represents a plurality of message component patterns, each of the message component patterns representing a different ordering of individual regular expressions of the set of regular expressions. The method further includes comparing the syslog message with the meta regular expression. The syslog message is deemed valid if the syslog message matches one of the plurality of message component patterns represented by the meta regular expression.

Pattern matching algorithm to determine valid syslog messages

A method for processing syslog messages. The syslog messages are received from a plurality of components. The method includes receiving a first syslog message. The method further includes determining whether the first syslog message is one of a plurality of critical syslog messages. The method also includes, if the first syslog message is the one of the plurality of critical syslog messages, performing critical message handling using the first syslog message. The method yet also includes, if the first syslog message is not any of the plurality of critical syslog messages, performing non-critical message handling using the first syslog message.
