Adding a Syslog Application
When should Syslog Application be used?
If syslogs are simultaneously forwarded from a device that has already been configured as a Windows Device, Log360 Cloud server will ignore the syslogs in order to maintain a single base log source. If you want to configure Log360 Cloud server to receive syslogs too from a Windows device, follow the procedure given below:
Note: Ensure Log360 Cloud agent is installed on at least one Windows device in your network. To configure the agent, follow the steps provided
