1. Select Device Settings → Event Rules → + New Action.
2. Select Syslog message from the Action list.
3. In the Syslog Server field, specify the IP address to which the syslog is forwarded.
4. In the Transport Protocol field, select a syslog protocol: TCP, UDP (default) or TCP+TLS and perform the steps in the following table.

   Transport Protocol Next Steps UDP In the UDP Port field, type a port number (default is 514). Select Legacy BSD Syslog Protocol, if applicable. TCP NO TLS certificate is required. Type a port number in the TCP Port field. TCP+TLS A TLS certificate is required. Do the following: Type a port number in the TCP Port field (default is 6514). In the CA Certificate field, click Browse, and select a TLS certificate. Click Show to view the content. Click Remove to delete it if it is not what you want. Determine whether to select Allow expired and not yet valid certificates. To always send the event message to the specified syslog server as long as a TLS certificate is available, select this option. To prevent the event message from being sent to the specified syslog server when any TLS certificate in the selected certificate chain is outdated or not valid yet, deselect this option.
