Types of logging sinks
Sink Description
Syslog Logging messages are sent to up to three configured servers, using Syslog
protocol as defined in RFC 3164. Messages sent to the Syslog server are sent
as UDP messages.
Log file Logging data is saved in the flash memory. These compressed, cyclic files
serve as the system logging database.
Session Logging messages are sent to the terminal screen as follows:
• For a local connection, messages appear online on the local terminal.
• For a remote Telnet/SSH connection, messages appear online on the remote
terminal.
This sink is deleted whenever a session ends.
Syslog server configuration
A Syslog server is a remote server that receives logging messages using the Syslog protocol.
This enables storage of large log files that you can use to generate reports.
