Event Logging The router allows you to capture log messages. You can monitor the type of traffic that goes through the router, and the router detects and notifies about potential attacks or errors. In this section, you can configure the event logging feature and select the category or the event type you want to log. The fields available in this section are as follows: Field Event logging Category/Event type Apply Cancel Description Select the checkbox to enable event logging. Select the checkboxes of the categories that you want to log. Click Apply to save your settings. Click Cancel to revert to the previous settings. Remote Logging (Syslog) An external Syslog server collects and stores logs from the router. This remote device typically has fewer memory constraints than the local Event Viewer on the router. Therefore, it can manage many logs over a sustained period. These logs help debug network issues or monitor router traffic over a long duration. The router supports five concurrent Syslog servers. Using the Remote Logs page, you can configure the server to receive different log facility messages of varying severity. This page also lets you send configuration logs to three email recipients. The fields available in this section are as follows: Field Syslog server Syslog server 1 Syslog server 2 (Optional) Syslog server 3 (Optional) Syslog server 4 (Optional) Syslog server 5 (Optional) Description Select the checkbox to enable the Syslog server. Enter the IP address or the FQDN to set up Syslog server 1. Repeat the fields above for each server you want to set up. Enter the IP address or the FQDN to set up Syslog server 2.
