Syslog

Overview

The IOLAN can be configured to send system log messages to a syslog daemon running on a remote host if the Syslog service is activated. You can configure a primary and secondary host for the syslog information and specify the level for which you want syslog information sent.

Note: You must ensure that the Syslog Client service in the Security, Services window is enabled (by default it is enabled) for these settings to work.
