Syslog Server
Enter the IP address or hostname of the UNIX syslog server to receive event messages. (If you have
configured a DNS server, you can enter a hostname; otherwise, enter an IP address.)
Port
Enter the UDP port number by which you access the syslog server. Use a decimal number from 0 to
65535. The default is 514, which is the well-known port number.
Facility
Click the drop-down menu button and select the syslog facility tag for events sent to this server. The
facility tag lets the syslog server sort messages into different files or destinations. The choices are:
• User = Random user-process messages.
• Mail = Mail system.
• Daemon = System daemons.
• Auth = Security or authorization messages.
• Syslog = Internal syslogd-generated messages.
• LPR = Line printer subsystem.
• News = Network news subsystem.
• UUCP = UUCP (UNIX-to-UNIX Copy Program) subsystem.
• Reserved (9) through Reserved (14) = Outside the Local range, with no name or assignment yet,
but usable.
• CRON = Clock daemon.
• Local 0 through Local 7 (default) = User defined.
