Syslog Configuration
The Syslog page shows the current configuration, status, and statistics of the syslog. Here you can configure the syslog destination and the severity of the events to log.
Note: The system log is always saved to local storage, but it is not retained through reboots. Saving the system log to a server that supports remote logging services (see RFC 3164) allows the administrator to save the complete system log history. The default port is 514.
1.Click Syslog on the menu bar. The Syslog page opens to display the current configuration.
