Syslog is a standard protocol for reporting system events that occur on 
the Webcache and most other modern network devices. A syslog server 
allows you to capture these system events, store them and display them 
in a variety of formats. The purpose of a syslog server is to listen for 
incoming syslog messages (system events) on a UDP port (usually 514) 
and then decode and process the messages for logging and notification 
purposes.

 

Syslog servers are also known as “syslog daemon” or, on Unix, 

“syslogd und Unix”. Unix systems always have a syslog server installed, 
but Microsoft Windows does not include one. 

The CD-ROM contains a freeware application called 3CDaemon that 
allows you to configure a Syslog and TFTP server on a Microsoft Windows 
server. You can use the 3CDaemon syslog server to capture syslog events 
from devices and machines on your network. Note that 3CDaemon is 
provided without warranty by 3Com.

WebTrends Firewall Suite has an integral Syslog server which you can also 
use to capture syslog events from devices and machines on your network.
