The Kernel Log is a comprehensive list of system events (shown in the System Log) and kernel messages such as error
conditions, like dropping frames.
You cannot view kernel log messages directly from the Administration Web UI for an AP. You must first set up a remote server
running a syslog process and acting as a syslog log relay host on your network. Then, you can configure the UAP to send
syslog messages to the remote server.
Remote log server collection for AP syslog messages provides the following features:
•
Allows aggregation of syslog messages from multiple APs
•
Stores a longer history of messages than kept on a single AP
•
Triggers scripted management operations and alerts
To use Kernel Log relaying, you must configure a remote server to receive the syslog messages. The procedure to configure
a remote log host depends on the type of system you use as the remote host.

. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system
processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP
settings when WLAN traffic is low.
Note:
The syslog process will default to use port 514. We recommend keeping this default port. However; If you
choose to reconfigure the log port, make sure that the port number you assign to syslog is not being used by
another process.
