7.8 Syslog Server
Server Settings
To configure the NAS as a Syslog server and allow it to receive Syslog messages from
the clients, enable Syslog Server. Select the protocols (TCP and/or UDP) the NAS uses
to receive Syslog messages. Specify the port numbers if necessary or use the default
port number 514. Click “Apply” to save the settings. After enabling the NAS as a Syslog
server, enter the NAS IP as the Syslog server IP on the Syslog clients to receive the
Syslog messages from them.
Log Settings
Specify the maximum log size (1-100 MB) of the Syslog messages, the location (NAS
shared folder) to which the logs will be saved, and the file name. Once the logs have
reached the maximum size, the log file will be automatically archived and renamed with
the archive date as MyLogFile_yyyy_mm_dd, for example MyLogFile_2011_12_31. If
multiple log files are archived on the same day, the file will be named as
MyLogFile_yyyy_mm_dd.[number]. For example, MyLogFile_2011_12_31.1,
MyLogFile_2011_12_31.2, and so on. Click “Apply” to save the settings.
