Port Management

EventLog Analyzer lets you manage UDP/TCP ports to listen for syslogs and SNMP traps from devices through this dashboard.

Note that

• For each protocol, you can add up to a maximum of six ports.
• For collecting Syslog data, you can use the same port for multiple protocols.
• You can also disable the existing default ports and instead can add additional listening ports.
