Management – Logs
Syslog is a standard for forwarding log messages in an IP network. The term "syslog" is often used for both
the actual syslog protocol, as well as the application or library sending syslog messages.
Syslog is a client/server protocol: the syslog sender sends a small (less than 1KB) textual message to the
syslog receiver. Syslog is typically used for computer system management and security auditing. While it has a
number of shortcomings, syslog is supported by a wide variety of devices and receivers across multiple platforms.
Because of this, syslog can be used to integrate log data from many different types of systems into a central
repository.

The GWR-HS Router supports this protocol and can send its activity logs to an external server.
