The Remote Syslog facility provides the flexibility to specify a Remote Syslog
server so that you can redirect console serial port logs to the Remote Syslog server
so as to provide a central (and regional) repository where you can view the port-
related activity. When remote logs are being received, local logs continue to be
recorded.
Devices in a network can produce thousands of log entries; due to the number of
logs occurring each hour, users demand the ability to configure the facility and
severity for console port logs. The Remote Syslog collector can be configured so
as to categorize and prioritize the logs appropriately thus allowing you to easily
identify issues as they arise.
The Remote Syslog server provides the flexibility to:
Analyze logs centrally.
l
Monitor for suspicious activities.
l
Collect and view analytics (for example, Splunk).
