User Guidelines
During system startup, messages are logged in RFC3164 format (e.g., in the
startup persistent log). Messages are logged in the selected format upon the
system processing the startup configuration.
The time zone must be configured for the system to generate RFC5424 log
messages with the time zone included.
Example

X509 configured SYSLOG servers if a certificate is available.
