For a console log, no additional configuration is required. You can, however,
optionally use the format and timestamp commands to customize log behavior.
v For a file-based log, you must specify the name of the log file with the local-file
command. You can optionally use the size command to specify the file size (in
kilobytes), the
rotate
command to specify the number of file rotations, the
backup

log format, the
timestamp

upload-method , local-ident , remote-addr , email-addr , and sender-addr
commands to specify an archival and retrieval method.
v
For an SMTP-based log, you must use the local-addr and remote-addr
commands to specify source and destination IP addresses and the email-addr
command to specify a destination email address. You can optionally use the
rate-limit command to control event message flow, the local-port and
remote-port commands to identify nonstandard source or destination ports, the

local-ident
command to specify a local identifier, the

v
For a system log, you must use the remote-addr command to specify a remote IP
address. You may optionally use the remote-port command to specify a
nonstandard destination port number, the local-addr and local-port commands
to specify a specific local interface used for syslog transmissions, the local-ident
command to specify a local identifier, and the facility command to identify the
syslog facility.
