Figure 8.2 Selecting Remote Server Logging
8.9.3 Configuring the Remote Server
Any remote server running a logging process which will accept incoming log
messages on port 514 via UDP, e.g. syslog or rsyslog, can be used. The firewall on
the remote server must be configured to allow UDP traffic to port 514 to pass
through.
The configuration of the logging process, e.g. syslog or rsyslog, on the remote
server determines many aspects of how the incoming messages are logged, such
as:
• The file to which the messages are logged (the default is the normal system
log).
• Whether or not the IP address of the source unit is included. The default is Yes
for syslog and No for rsyslog.
Instructions on how to configure the logging process on the remote server is beyond
the scope of this manual.
