Description
Host Enter the IP address of the remote server to which system logs
are sent for storage.
Local Port Enter the number of the local port on the EDS to which system
logs are sent.
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 is 514.
Remote Port Enter the number of the port on the remote server that supports
logging services. The default is 514.
Severity to Log From the drop-down box, select the minimum level of system
message the EDS should log. This setting applies to all syslog
facilities. The drop-down list is in descending order of severity
(e.g., Emergency is more severe than Alert.)
