Configuring Syslog Settings

The Syslog Configuration window allows you to change the
UDP port number that ViewPoint syslog server listens on, to
configure ViewPoint to forward syslog data to other servers,
and to limit the database size.

1. From the ViewPoint Web Interface, expand the Config-

ure option on the left side of the browser window and
then click Syslog. A window similar to the following will
be displayed.

2. To change the UDP port number that the ViewPoint syslog

server listens on, enter the new port number in the Port
Number
field.

Note: SonicWALL Internet security appliances write syslog
traffic on port number 514.

3. To forward syslog data to a backup server, enter the IP

address of the secondary server in the IP Address field.

4. Enter the port number that the syslog data will be sent on

in the Port Number field.
