Before you begin

Navigate to Global Settings > System Configuration > Syslog Destination.

You must have the credentials prepared in advance.

Settings

There are several required settings you need to take into consideration when configuring an output destination. They’re used to establish a connection with the custom location the logs will be sent to.

Setting	Function
Protocol	The type of protocol used for the configuration: UDP, TCP, or TLS. Note: TLS requires certificates. The Ignore certificate check box can be used with TLS only.
Facility	The type of facility used for the configuration. SYSLOG by default.
Message format	The format of the message used in the configuration. RFC_3164 by default.
App name	The application's name.
Sender	The sender’s name/address.
Destination/IP	The IP address of the output destination.
Port	The port number of the output destination.

When you’re ready with the configuration, apply your settings by clicking the Save button.
