operation, log data temporarily resides in memory. AP memory is
completely cleared each time the AP reboots.

syslog (system log) server. Select the Enable logging to an external
syslog server checkbox to enable the server to listen for incoming
syslog messages and decode the messages into a log for viewing.

selected, the numerical (non DNS name) IP address of an external
syslog server is required in order to route the syslog events to that
destination.
