Configuring an external SYSLOG server

Your device is capable of logging the creation and deletion of Public Spot users, as well as their login and logout activities. You can also transfer this internally stored information to an external SYSLOG server. The following steps show you how you can set up logging with a program installed on an external SYSLOG server (in this example, "Kiwi").

  1. Start LANconfig and open the configuration dialog for your device.
  2. Change to the dialog Log & Trace > General and open the table SYSLOG servers.
  3. Add a new entry. Specify the IP address of the computer where the SYSLOG client is installed (e.g., 192.168.10.237), and enter the Source (Login, Accounting) and the Priority (Information).




  4. Close the dialog and store the configuration on your device.
  5. Start the analysis program on your SYSLOG server (e.g., "Kiwi"). As soon as the program has started, it logs the creation and deletion of Public Spot accounts and also the user logins and logouts.
