Summary:
This draft is very close to ready for publication as a proposed
standard. I have a few minor comments that may be worth considering,
as well as a small number of nits and editorial comments.
Major issues:
None
Minor issues:
-- section 2.1, last paragraph: "...format must be translated..."
Is that a normative MUST?
-- section 3.2, 2nd to last paragraph: "... must be compliant ..."
Normative MUST?
-- Security Considerations:
It might be worth having a paragraph discussing how closely the access
control policy mechanisms for SNMP can be mapped into SYSLOG.
Nits/editorial comments:
-- section 3, first diagram:
The preceding paragraph states that you have exactly one SYSLOG
message for each SNMP notification, but the diagram shows 3 SNMP
notifications and 2 SYSLOG messages. Is it reasonable for the SYSLOG
originator to be able to know and enforce SNMP access control
policies? (I'm not saying it's not--just that I don't know.)
-- references:
Is ietf-opsawg-syslog-msg-mib really a normative reference? (The
answer is not obvious to me either way)
RFC 4234 has been obsoleted by 5234. Is the old reference used on
purpose?
