Max Size
Specifies the maximum number of log entries to store in the router's volatile memory. When the
maximum number is reached, the old log messages are overwritten by new messages.
Log Prefix
A text identification string that is added to the log messages. This is useful for quickly
identifying events you are interested in when using a remote syslog server.
Remote Syslog Configuration
To view a longer history of log messages, you can set up a remote syslog server that acts as a
syslog log relay host on your network. Then, you can configure the router to send syslog
messages to the remote server. The System Log Level setting determines which messages are
stored in RAM and are available for relay to a remote syslog server.
•
IP Address: Specify the IP address of the remote syslog server.
•
Port: The syslog process uses logical port 514 by default. It is recommended that you keep
this default. If you specify a different port number, ensure that the port number is not being
used by another protocol on your network and that your syslog server is also configured to
use that port.
•
Log Level: When Remote Syslog is enabled, messages of the selected Log Level or higher
are sent to the configured syslog server.

Events

The Events section of the System log page shows real-time system events on the router, such as
wireless clients associating with the router and being authenticated. The log shows the date the
event occurred, its severity level, the software program or process that caused the event
message, and the message text.
You can select Refresh to display the most recent data from the router, or Clear to remove all
entries from the list. Click Download to save all entries to a file on the management computer.
