Configuring Syslog Logging

If desired, you can configure the appliance to send logs to a Syslog server located on your network or on the Internet.

While the appliance Event Log is limited by the amount of available storage space, a Syslog server can store an unlimited number of logs.

	Tip
	You can obtain free Syslog servers online, such as Kiwi Syslog Daemon (http://www.kiwisyslog.com/).
