The SYSLOG module allows accessing of the device to be logged. This function is especially interesting for system administrators as it optionally records a complete history of all activities in the device.
A corresponding SYSLOG client or daemon is required to receive the SYSLOG messages. Logging under UNIX/Linux is generally performed by the SYSLOG daemon that is set up as standard in these operating systems. The daemon either establishes contact with the console or writes its log to an appropriate SYSLOG file.
Under Linux, the file /etc/syslog.conf contains a definition of which facilities (more on this term later) should be written to which log file. Please check your daemon's configuration to see if it explicitly listens to network connections.
Windows does not provide a corresponding system function. You require special software to provide the functionality of a SYSLOG daemon.
