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:
1 Define a Syslog host. Up to three Syslog servers can be defined.
2 Define 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.
3 Define the syslog access-level. The default syslog server access level is read-
write.
4 Enable the Syslog server. Syslog server sinks are created as “disabled”.
5 Addition optional configuration includes setting the different logging filters.
