Configuring a syslog server

Access Appliance can be configured to send syslog messages to syslog servers based on set severities and filters.

In Access Appliance, options include specifying the external system log (syslog) server for event reporting, and setting the interval of messages. Event notifications matching configured severity levels and filters are logged to those external syslog servers.
