Syslog Server
Path: Maintenance > Logs Settings > Syslog Server
An external Syslog server is often used to collect and store logs from the router. This remote device typically has
less memory constraints than the local Event Viewer on the router. Therefore, a number of logs can be collected
over a sustained period. This is useful for debugging network issues or to monitor router trac over a long
duration.
The router supports eight concurrent Syslog servers. Each server can be congured to receive dierent log
facility messages of varying severity using the Remote Logs page. This page also lets you send conguration
logs to three email recipients.
1. Click Maintenance > Log Settings > Syslog Server.
2. Complete the elds from the table on the next page and click Save.
