Syslog Server Configuration - D-Link DWC-1000 User Manual

An external Syslog server is often used by network administrator to collect and store logs from the wireless
controller. This remote device typically has less memory constraints than the local Event Viewer on the wireless
controller's web management interface. Therefore, a number of logs can be collected over a sustained period.
This is useful for debugging network issues or to monitor controller traffic over a long duration.
The wireless controller supports 8 concurrent Syslog servers. Each server can be configured to receive different
log facility messages of varying severity using the Remote Logging page.
To enable a Syslog server, click the ON/OFF switch next to the Syslog server field and enter an IP address or FQDN in the
Name field. The selected facility and severity level messages are sent to the configured (and enabled) Syslog server after
you save the settings on this page.
