Managing Syslog Servers
The Syslog Server Settings page lets you manage the various virtual syslog servers
set up to receive exported logs at different ports.
The default listener ports for the syslog server in Firewall Analyzer are 514 and 1514. If
your firewalls are exporting log files to either of these ports, you do not have to set up
any virtual syslog servers.
The Syslog Servers table shows the various virtual syslog servers set up so far, along
with their IP address, listener port, and status. You can delete a virtual syslog server by
clicking the
icon. Once a virtual syslog server is deleted, the corresponding listener
port is also freed. You can also stop the syslog collection by clicking the
icon and
restart the syslog collection by clicking on the
icon.
Adding a New Syslog Server
The Add Syslog Server box lets you add a new virtual syslog server and begin listening
on a new port for exported log files.
Enter a unique SysLog Server Name for the new virtual syslog server, and the listener
port. The Host Name/IP Address field is currently not editable, and takes the IP
address of the machine on which the Firewall Analyzer server is running.
Click Add Syslog Server to add this virtual syslog server, and begin listening for log
files at the specified port.
