   In the Port # box, the default port for syslog (514) is displayed.

This setting applies to all three servers. The additional service message is: DHCP messages reporting users receiving IP addresses.

7. To include station session event messages, select the Include station event messages check box.
8. In the Application Logs drop-down list, click the log level (local.0 - local.6) to be sent to the syslog server. This setting applies to all three servers.
9. If the Include all service messages check box is selected, the Service Logs drop-down list becomes available. Select the log level (local.0 - local.6) to be sent to the syslog server. This setting applies to all three servers.
10. If you select the Include audit messages check box, the Audit Logs drop-down list becomes available. Select the log level (local.0 - local.6) to be sent to the syslog server. This setting applies to all three servers.
11. If you select the Include station event messages check box, the Station Logs drop-down list becomes available. Select the log level (local.0 - local.6) to be sent to the syslog server. This setting applies to all three servers.
12. To apply your changes, click Apply.

Note

The syslog daemon must be running on both the controller and on the remote syslog server before the logs can be synchronized. If you change the log level on the controller, you must also modify the appropriate setting in the syslog configuration on remote syslog server.
