Adding a Syslog Profile
A Syslog server provides a centralized repository to store diagnostic information and monitoring logs from various remote systems or devices. The logs are used for network monitoring and maintenance purposes. Syslog profiles enable FortiAPs to directly send their wireless/event/security logs to an external Syslog server. The Syslog profile is associated to a Platform profile.
Notes:
- A maximum of 1024 Syslog profiles are allowed.
- Syslog profiles cannot be deleted when used by a Platform profile.
