Logging syslog messages
The syslog protocol is used to transmit log messages in networks. The log messages
are transmitted to a syslog server that logs the log messages of many devices in the
computer network.
Among other things, eight different severity codes have been defined to classify the
log messages:
0: Emergency
1: Alert
2: Critical
The web application enables you to configure whether the syslog messages are to be
locally logged or sent to up to two syslog servers.
