Syslog Server Conguration
Path: Maintenance > Logs Settings > Remote Logging > Syslog
An external Syslog server is often used by network administrator to collect and store logs from the wireless
controller. This remote device typically has less memory constraints than the local Event Viewer on the wireless
controller’s web management interface. Therefore, a number of logs can be collected over a sustained period.
This is useful for debugging network issues or to monitor controller trac over a long duration.
The wireless controller supports 8 concurrent Syslog servers. Each server can be congured to receive dierent
log facility messages of varying severity using the Remote Logging page.
Syslog Server Conguration
To enable a Syslog server, click the ON/OFF switch next to the Syslog server eld and enter an IP address or FQDN in the
Name eld. The selected facility and severity level messages are sent to the congured (and enabled) Syslog server after
you save the settings on this page.
Switch
To have the wireless controller send logs to a Syslog server, check one or more boxes.
You can check up to 8 Syslog servers and use them concurrently.
FQDN/IP Address Enter the IP address or Internet Name of the Syslog server.
Facility For each syslog server, select a unique facility for logging.
Severity
Select the appropriate Syslog severity. When a severity is selected, all Syslogs with
severity equal to or greater than the chosen severity are logged on the congured
Syslog Server.
