Setting Up the Log Relay Host

To use Kernel Log relaying, you must configure a remote server to receive the syslog messages. This procedure will vary depending on the type of machine you use as the remote log host. Following is an example of how to configure a remote Linux server using the syslog daemon.

Note: The syslog process will default to use port 514. We recommend keeping this default port. However; If you choose to reconfigure the log port, make sure that the port number you assign to syslog is not being used by another process.

Enabling or Disabling the Log Relay Host on the Status > Events Page

To enable and configure Log Relaying on the Status > Events page, set the Log Relay options as described below and then click Update.
