6.6 SYSLOG

Use the Syslog sub-menu to view the system log and configure how system events are logged.
Syslog is a standard for logging program messages. Syslog allows separation of the software that generates messages from the system that
stores them and the software that reports and analyzes them. Syslog is supported by a wide variety of devices and receivers across multiple plat-
forms.
