Remote Log Server

The Kernel Log is a comprehensive list of system events (shown in the System
Log) and kernel messages such as error conditions.
You cannot view kernel log messages directly from the Web interface. You must
first setup a remote log server to receive and capture logs. Then you can configure
the WAP device to log to the remote log server.
Remote log server collection for WAP device syslog messages provides these
features:
• Allows aggregation of syslog messages from multiple APs
• Stores a longer history of messages than is kept on a single WAP device
• Triggers scripted management operations and alerts
To specify a host on your network to serve as a remote log server:
Click Administration > Log Settings in the navigation window.
Configure the parameters:
• Remote Log—Enables the WAP to send log messages to a remote host.
When disabled, all log messages are kept on the local system.
• Server IPv4 Address/Name—The IP address or DNS name of the remote
log server. The IPv4 address should be in a form similar to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(192.0.2. 1 0).
• UDP Port—The logical port number for the syslog process on the remote
host. The default port is 514.
