7.3 The Syslog & Monitor Screen
A syslog server is a central online repository used for storing and analyzing logs. The syslog
protocol is built around data logging for the purposes of keeping records and analysis. On a
typical network the syslog daemon can be configured to send system logs to a central online
repository known as a syslog server. This allows network administrators to quickly access and
examine them without having to go to every machine on the network.
Click Advanced > Syslog & Monitor to open this screen. This is where you can configure the
NXC-8160 to send log files as well as how often they are sent.
