Log Sending

In the Log Sending tab, you can transmit Surveillance Station logs to a syslog server.

To send logs to a syslog server:

  1. Go to Log > Log Sending, and tick the Send logs to a syslog server checkbox.
  2. Enter the hostname or IP address of the server in Server.
  3. Enter the specified port number for receiving syslog messages in Port. This should match the port number of the syslog server.
  4. Select UDP or TCP from the Transfer protocol drop-down menu. This should match the protocol used by the syslog server.
  5. Select BSD (RFC 3164) or IETF (RFC 5424) from the Log format drop-down menu to send logs using the selected format.
  6. If you select TCP as the transfer protocol and want to secure the syslog connection with SSL, tick the Enable secure connection (SSL) checkbox and click Import certificate to ensure logs are securely transferred to the syslog server.
  7. Click Save to apply settings.
  8. Click Send test log to confirm the syslog server can receive the log successfully. If the syslog server does not receive the test log, please make sure your settings are correct.
