󱛻󱛼󱛽Warning: The following topics are intended only for Advanced Users.
Remote System Logging Configuration:
Allows the user to configure the unit to send logs to an external syslog server.
By default, system logs are stored locally as a text file continually updated during system
events. The System > System: Logging page allows the user to specify logging parameters,
detailed below. The amount of system log entries, and therefore the rate at which the log
is updated is determined by the log output level, which is selected on this screen under Log
output level. For external log servers, setting up the server’s config files to receive logging
data (passed by TCP/UDP) is an advanced user topic.

System log buffer size: Specifies how much memory to allocate for
saving logs in the unit. When allocated memory is used up, the system
will overwrite old messages.
