Syslog

Syslog is an IETF RFC 5425 standard protocol for computer logging and collection that is popular in Unix-like operating systems including servers, networking equipments, and IoT devices. The log messages generated by a device creates a record of events that occur on the operating system or application. The purpose of the message is to provide administrators with information regarding important events, health information and other normal or abnormal happenings that could prove useful when troubleshooting or working through a serurity-related issue.

Currently, access point can generate a variety of logs, such as WIDP, Secruty Services, network, etc. However, those logs can only send to WNM backend server to store. So this is an automated local access point for the customers to redirect all events and alerts for either an individual AP or all the APs to a local syslog server.

To activate Syslog for a device

1. Navigate to Policies > Policy Hierarchy.
2. Select the AP Policy.
3. Scroll to and click the Syslog tab.
4. Select the Enable option to activate Syslog.
5. Specify the Server Address, Server Port, and Maximum Events per Second.
6. Click OK to save the changes.

You can also enable Syslog from Settings > Notification Centre. For more information, refer to Notification Center.
