When a syslog server has been defined, messages matching the rules defined here are sent to the syslog
server. The syslog protocol uses UDP port 514.

Log Rotation: Configuring Data Retention

To configure the number of weeks to retain records for data, log files, disabled accounts, and mobile device
certificates, click the Configure data retention link in Log Rotation row. The Data Retention Policy
page opens. Log files are rotated and expired logs are cleared according to the database maintenance
schedule you define. See

Log Collector: Storing Incoming Syslog Messages

Your ClearPass Guest server can also act as a syslog server. To configure the ClearPass Guest server to
receive syslog messages sent by remote hosts in the network, mark the check box in the Log Collector
row. The Allowed Access row is added. You can specify IP addresses and networks from which messages
may be received, or allow syslog messages to be received from any IP address.
Storing incoming syslog messages can use a lot of disk space. If you choose the log collector option, be sure
to set appropriate data retention limits and enable low disk space notifications.
