Syslog Server Configuration
Path: Maintenance > Logs Settings > Remote Logging > Syslog
An external Syslog server is often used by network administrator to collect and store logs from the wireless
controller. This remote device typically has less memory constraints than the local Event Viewer on the wireless
controller’s web management interface. Therefore, a number of logs can be collected over a sustained period.
This is useful for debugging network issues or to monitor controller traffic over a long duration.
The wireless controller supports 8 concurrent Syslog servers. Each server can be configured to receive different
log facility messages of varying severity using the Remote Logging page.
Syslog Server Configuration
To enable a Syslog server, click the ON/OFF switch next to the Syslog server field and enter an IP address or FQDN in the
Name field. The selected facility and severity level messages are sent to the configured (and enabled) Syslog server after
you save the settings on this page.
Switch
To have the wireless controller send logs to a Syslog server, check one or more boxes.
You can check up to 8 Syslog servers and use them concurrently.
FQDN/IP Address
Enter the IP address or Internet Name of the Syslog server.
Facility
For each syslog server, select a unique facility for logging.
Severity
Select the appropriate Syslog severity. When a severity is selected, all Syslogs with
severity equal to or greater than the chosen severity are logged on the configured
Syslog Server.
