The logging of system activities starts when the Monitoring menu is opened, and remains active until the
tab is closed.
Note: Syslog messages are transmitted by UDP. This uses port 514, which should not be blocked by a
firewall.
During logging, the activities are written continuously into logging files and stored locally. This logging
process includes a number of options as described below.
