Setting Up the Log Relay Host
To use Kernel Log relaying, you must configure a remote server to receive the syslog messages. This
procedure will vary depending on the type of machine you use as the remote log host. Following is an
example of how to configure a remote Linux server using the syslog daemon.
Note: The syslog process will default to use port 514. We recommend keeping this
default port. However; If you choose to reconfigure the log port, make sure that the port
number you assign to syslog is not being used by another process.
