Collecting Syslog Messages from Device's Web Interface
Instead of configuring the device to send syslog messages, you can configure Syslog Viewer to connect to the device's Web interface and collect the messages from there.
This method is useful when Syslog Viewer is not routable from the device. For example, when the device is located behind NAT.
Syslog Viewer can connect to the device's Web interface using the device's IP address or hostname (if applicable). By default, Syslog Viewer connects over HTTPS (port 443), but you can change this to HTTP (port 80).
