Logging to Syslog Server
The Syslog feature when enabled, allows you to send logs to a centralized logging server (Syslog server). It is a great way to consolidate logs from multiple sources into a single location.
Supported Protocols
User Datagram Protocol (UDP): UDP uses a simple connectionless communication model. This protocol may cause some packet loss.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): A connection-oriented protocol, which means a connection is established and maintained until the application has finished exchanging messages. It provides reliability and ordered delivery.
Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS): A secured connection between the syslog server and the client. It supports both the server and client authentication.
How to Configure
If you want to send logs to the Syslog server, configure the following properties:
Log_Level
Syslog_Server_IP
Syslog_Server_Port
Syslog_Server_Protocol
Syslog_CA
Syslog_Cert
Syslog_Passphrase
Syslog_Passphrase_Encrypted
Syslog_Format
Syslog_Framing_Type
Syslog_Output_Template
Note
If any Syslog property is misconfigured, the application will not stop. However, the Syslog entries will be disabled.
Refer to Logging Parameters and Syslog Advanced Configuration Parameters for details.
