Configuring Syslog Server

    OpUtils allows you to directly log all the Alerts to your Syslog Server. This will help you to track and monitor all your network related alerts from a central point. This is an optional setting and you can also choose the alerts that have to be logged to your Syslog Server. For example, you can choose to log all the alerts from IP Address Manager tool and not the alerts from Rogue Detection or Switch Port Mapper tools.

    To enable this feature, you should configure the Syslog Settings in OpUtils:
