| Setting | Description |
| Syslog Server | Hostname or IP address of the remote syslog server |
| Protocol | The transport protocol is used to send event notifications to the remote syslog server. Valid options are UDP, TCP, and Encrypted TCP. Note: When URI information that includes URI strings is sent using the UDP protocol, data loss can result. For best results in logging URI string information, use either the TCP or Encrypted TCP protocol. |
| Port | The port on the remote syslog server is used to communicate syslog events. |
| Log Type | SMS uses the syslog format when sending event notifications to the remote syslog server. The format varies depending on the SMS version and the event itself. The format is important because the receiving server must know how to interpret the data. The SMS provides the following syslog format options:
|
| Event Query | Determines whether the SMS sends all or a select set of events to the remote syslog server. |
| Facility | The events sent to the remote syslog server are limited to a specific facility level. The BSD Syslog Protocol defines facilities. Refer to RFC 3164. |
| Severity | Limits the events sent to the remote syslog server to events that match the specified severity. |
| Delimiter | This parameter determines the character the SMS uses as a delimiter for event data in the syslog. Options include tab, comma, semi-colon, pipe, or space. |
| Timestamp | Determines the timestamp the SMS includes in headers in messages sent to the remote syslog:
