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 access-level. The default syslog server access level is read- write.

4Enable the Syslog server. Syslog server sinks are created as “disabled”.

5Addition optional configuration includes setting the different logging filters.
