Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings  

The Syslog component is used to send and receive network system log packets.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

The Syslog component implements a lightweight BSD syslog client as specified in RFC 3164. The component is used to send and receive BSD system network logging packets.

The first step in using the Syslog component is to set LocalHost and LocalPort to the interface and port on which the host will be receiving syslog packets, then set Active to True. For each packet, the component will parse the headers and message and fire a PacketIn event.
