Configuring
the
Log
Relay
Host
for
Kernel
Messages
The
Kernel
Log
is
a
comprehensive
list
of
system
events
(shown
in
the
System
Log)
and
kernel
messages
such
as
error
conditions,
like
dropping
frames.
You
cannot
view
kernel
log
messages
directly
from
the
Administration
Web
UI
for
an
AP.
You
must
first
set
up
a
remote
server
running
a
syslog
process
and
acting
as
a
syslog
log
relay
host
on
your
network.
Then,
you
can
configure
the
UAP
to
send
syslog
messages
to
the
remote
server.
Remote
log
server
collection
for
AP
syslog
messages
provides
the
following
features:
• Allows
aggregation
of
syslog
messages
from
multiple
APs
• Stores
a
longer
history
of
messages
than
kept
on
a
single
AP
• Triggers
scripted
management
operations
and
alerts
To
use
Kernel
Log
relaying,
you
must
configure
a
remote
server
to
receive
the
syslog
messages.
The
procedure
to
configure
a
remote
log
host
depends
on
the
type
of
system
you
use
as
the
remote
host.
Enabling
or
Disabling
the
Log
Relay
Host
on
the
Events
Page
To
enable
and
configure
Log
Relaying
on
the
Events
page,
set
the
Log
Relay
options
as
described
in
the
following
table,
and
then
click
Apply.
Figure
5:
Log
Relay
Host
Note:
The
syslog
process
will
default
to
use
port
514.
We
recommend
keeping
this
default
port.
However;
If
you
choose
to
reconfigure
the
log
port,
make
sure
that
the
port
number
you
assign
to
syslog
is
not
being
used
by
another
process.
