Log > Settings Overview
The Log > Settings page allows the administrator to configure log alert and syslog server settings. Syslog is an
industry-standard logging protocol that records system and networking activity. The syslog messages are sent in
WELF (WebTrends Enhanced Log Format), so most standard firewalls and networking reporting products can
accept and interpret the log files. The syslog service transmits syslog messages to external syslog server(s)
listening on UDP port 514.
