Adding a Syslog Application

When should the Syslog Application be used?

If syslog is simultaneously forwarded from a device that has already been configured as a Windows device, EventLog Analyzer server will ignore the syslog in order to maintain a single base log source. If you want to configure EventLog Analyzer server to receive syslog too from a Windows device, follow the procedure given below:

• Navigate to Settings > Log Source Configuration > Applications. You can also click on the +Add button on the top-right corner of the Home page and select Application.
• Click on the General Application -> Add General Applications.
• Choose Syslog Application as Application Type

  

• Expand the list by clicking the "+" icon to add a new device.
• Choose from the drop-down menu to add Configured devices, Workgroup devices, domain devices, etc.

  

• To add new devices manually, click on Configure Manually and enter Log Source > Select and click on Add.
