Configuring Devices to Send Syslog Messages
The recommended method for collecting syslog messages from a device is to configure the device to send syslog messages to the computer on which Syslog Viewer is installed. This method uses the syslog protocol (e.g., over UDP).
| ● | If communication isn't possible (i.e., not routable) between the device and the computer on which Syslog Viewer is installed (e.g., due to a firewall or NAT devices in the middle), you can use the Web Connect feature, whereby Syslog Viewer collects syslog messages from the device's Web interface (see Collecting Syslog Messages from Device's Web Interface). |
| ● | You can configure multiple devices to send syslog messages to Syslog Viewer. |
