Section 3.6.4
Managing Remote Logging
In addition to the local system log maintained on the device, a remote system log can be configured as well to
collect important event messages. The syslog client resides on the device and supports up to 5 collectors (or
syslog servers).
The remote syslog protocol, defined in RFC 3164, is a UDP/IP-based transport that enables the device to send
event notification messages across IP networks to event message collectors, also known as syslog servers. The
protocol is designed to simply transport these event messages from the generating device to the collector(s).
The following sections describe how to configure a remote syslog client and server:
• Section 3.6.4.1, “Configuring the Remote Syslog Client”
• Section 3.6.4.2, “Viewing a List of Remote Syslog Servers”
• Section 3.6.4.3, “Adding a Remote Syslog Server”
• Section 3.6.4.4, “Deleting a Remote Syslog Server”
Section 3.6.4.1
