[cisco-voip] OT: IOS Embedded Syslog Manager

[Anthony Holloway]

I have never worked with this feature before, but you are returning an empty
string:  return "".

You could try any simply using the return keyword without the empty string
value.  If it absolutely needs something, you could try a boolean:  return
false.
