Syslog is a standard protocol for logging. It has two components: the Syslog auditing module, which runs on the Citrix Application Delivery Controller (ADC) instance, and the Syslog server, which can run either on the underlying FreeBSD operating system (OS) of the Citrix ADC instance or on a remote system. SYSLOG uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for data transfer.

Syslog enables isolation of the system that generates information and the system that stores the information. You can consolidate logging information and derive insights from the collected data. You can also configure syslog to log different types of events.

You can monitor the syslog messages that a Citrix ADC device generates if you configure the device to redirect syslog messages to Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM). You can schedule a job to create syslog servers that generate different kinds of syslog data using the buit-in templates feature in Citrix ADM.

First, configure a syslog server to which the instance can send log information. Then, specify the date and time format for recording log messages.

到公司nfigure a syslog server on Citrix ADM:

Navigate toSystem>Auditing. UnderConfiguration Summary, selectSyslog Servers. Or you can navigate toSystem>Auditing>Syslog Servers.
In theSyslog Serverpage, clickAdd.
On theCreate Syslog Serverpage, enter the following values:
- Name- Name for the syslog server.
- IP Address- IP address of the syslog server.
- Port- Syslog server port.
Choose the log levels (All, None, or Custom). Accordingly, select the severity levels.
ClickCreate.

到公司nfigure the syslog date and time format on Citrix ADM:

Navigate toSystem>Auditing. UnderConfiguration Summary, selectSyslog Servers.
In theSyslog Serverpage, select a syslog server, and then, clickSyslog Parameters.
On theConfigure Syslog Parameterspage, specify the date and time format.
ClickOK.

To view syslog messages on Citrix ADM:

You can now view all your syslog messages generated on your managed Citrix ADC instances if you have configured your instance to redirect the syslog messages to the Citrix ADM server. The syslog messages are stored in the Citrix ADM server’s database centrally and will make them available on the Syslog Viewer for auditing purposes. You can consolidate this logging information and derive reports for analytics from the collected data.

To view theSyslog Viewer, navigate toSystem>Auditing. In theAuditingpage, underAudit Messages, selectSyslog Messages. Choose the appropriate filters, to view your system log messages.
