Remote System Logging
Control system messages can be captured and stored on a remote server using the remote
system logging function.
NOTE: The remote server host must have system log server with the applicable security
certificates and sufficient disk space to store the active system log. The host should also be
configured to archive older system logs and to off load them over time. If TLS is turned on, a
TLS-supported server with the appropriate certificates is required.
To configure remote system logging, issue the remotesyslog command.
