Syslog Server
A syslog server is a system on the network (typically a UNIX system)
that can receive and log syslog messages from other devices on the
network. Syslog messages allow administrators to monitor status or
troubleshoot network devices.
A syslog server requires software that provides syslog capabilities
running on the server. UNIX systems provide a daemon, syslogd, that
monitors User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 514 for incoming
messages. The messages are processed depending their priority and on
how syslogd is set up to operate.
You can configure the HP Jetdirect print server with the syslog
server’s IP address. When a syslog server is configured, both the HP
Jetdirect print server and attached device (such as a printer or mopier)
can send syslog messages using UDP.
The syslog server may not receive all syslog events from the HP
Jetdirect print server:
UDP does not guarantee delivery of messages.
