Configuring the Syslog Client
Syslog is a protocol for sending event notification messages across IP networks to message collectors (Syslog
server). It uses transport protocol UDP on port 514. A syslog-message exits on the three main part Priority,
Header and Message whereas the header is split into Facility and Severity and the header into Timestamp and
Hostname. The whole syslog-message (Priority, Header and Message) contains only printable characters and
the maximum length is 1024 bytes.

mand disables sending of messages from the given
facility.
