Add a syslog configuration


Configure the system to send events to one or more remote syslog servers. You can configure the system to use up to 15 syslog servers.

The minimum event severity that you specify using the syslog command and the event command determines which events the system sends to remote syslog servers. For example, if the minimum severity set with one command is higher than the minimum severity set with the other command, the system uses the higher severity level to determine which events it sends to a syslog server.
