Syslog event reporting uses the syslog protocol to relay event messages to a centralized event server on the enterprise network. In the protocol, a device generates messages, a relay receives and forwards the messages, and a syslog server receives the messages.
Note
To synchronize the logs, the syslog daemon must be running on both the appliance and on the remote syslog server. When you change the log level on the appliance, you must modify the appropriate setting in the syslog configuration on remote syslog server.Facility codes identify log streams in the remote syslog server. Select a unique facility code (local.0 - local.6) for each Universal Compute Platform facility to differentiate the log streams and facilitate the filtering of messages.
