Configure Remote Logging
You can configure your system to send the event details it collects to a remote logging server (using
syslog or a similar mechanism).
Remember the following about remote logging with your system:
• The system sends logs to remote logging servers over a secure TLS connection. Your system may
use a version of TLS that you configured your system not to use. This happens because your
system sends logs using the TLS version configured on your remote logging server. This doesn't
affect the use of the configured TLS version for other parts of your system. For example, if you set
your system's minimum version of TLS to 1.2, but the server only uses 1.0, it still receives the logs.
• You can use more than one remote logging server.
• Logs can be consumed by an intrusion detection system (IDS) and a security information and event
management (SIEM) system.
