Remote syslog server

Konftel 800 supports syslog protocol to allow centralized log management. You
can configure the phone so that it logs to a remote server and sends the syslog
messages to your own system or a third-party system.
With the remote syslog feature enabled, the phone sends the syslog messages to
the syslog server and also logs them in the local log.
By default, the remote logging feature on Konftel 800 is in the disabled state.

Configuring remote syslog settings

To use the remote syslog feature, you need to do the following:
• Enable your phone to deliver syslog messages to the syslog server.
• Configure the destination server which receives the syslog events.
You can do this using the configuration file stored on the Device Management
server. You can find the syslog settings under the <logging> section of the
configuration file.
The default syslog port is 514, and you cannot change this setting.
The <remote_syslog_host> tag can be missing in the <logging> section
if you use a configuration file exported from the phone application. This can
happen because the <remote_syslog_host> default value is blank, and the
phone application does not export blank tags.
Obtain the configuration .xml file for Konftel 800.
In the configuration file, go to the <logging> section.
Set the value in the <remote_syslog_enable> tag to true as shown in the
following example:
<remote_syslog_enable>true</remote_syslog_enable>
