Syslog Servers
Remote logging using Syslog servers provides the following advantages:
•History and archiving – Storing logs remotely shifts the burden of storing log output to a device with an actual file system and cheap ample storage. This provides an option to keep large logs files and the ability to archive and store log files.
•Data Manipulation – Once the log data is on a system with tools that can manipulate it, log data can be used to generate valuable reports.
To configure logging via a Syslog server:
1Define a Syslog host. Up to three Syslog servers can be defined.
2Define the syslog “facility” that the messages are sent to on the remote syslog server. If a syslog facility is not defined, the default facility, local7, is used.
3Define the syslog
4Enable the Syslog server. Syslog server sinks are created as “disabled”.
5Addition optional configuration includes setting the different logging filters.
