Configure the appliance to send log messages

You can configure your appliance to send log messages to up to three syslog servers.

1. Enter the hostname or IP address of the syslog host server receiving system messages from thappliance in the Remote Syslog Server field.
2. Select the Message Format for the event notification messages.

Choose from the standards specification RFC 5424, one of the legacy BSD formats, or Syslog over TLS. Syslog over TLS defaults to using TCP port 6514.

Appliance logs are sent using the local0 facility.
