The Log Server Settings Page contains the following fields:
• Server — Specifies the server to which logs can be sent.
• UDP Port — Defines the UDP port to which the server logs are sent. The possible range is 1 - 65535. The
default value is 514.
• Facility — Defines an application from which system logs are sent to the remote server. Only one facility can
be assigned to a single server. If a second facility level is assigned, the first facility is overridden. All applica-
tions defined for a device utilize the same facility on a server. The field default is Local 7. The possible field
values are Local 0 - Local 7.
• Description — A user-defined server description.
• Minimum Severity — Indicates the minimum severity from which logs are sent to the server. For example, if
Notice is selected, all logs with a severity level of Notice and higher are sent to the remote server.
• Remove — Deletes the currently selected server from the Servers list. The possible field values are:
– Checked — Removes the selected server from the Servers Log Parameters Page. Once removed, logs
are no longer sent to the removed server.
– Unchecked — Maintains the remote servers.
2. Click. The server log parameters are set, and the device is updated.
