Syslog is a message logging standard supported by most devices and operating systems. USM Anywhere can collect syslog data from devices in your environment and produce corresponding security events and alarms. You can forward syslog data from specific device types to the IP address and port of the USM Anywhere Sensor.
Note: See The Syslog Server Sensor App, Data Sources and Log Processing, and Enabling Connections in an AWS VPC for more information.
