SysLog
A standard protocol for collecting log messages from network devices, servers, and applications.
Definition
SysLog is a standard protocol used by network devices, servers, and applications to send log messages to a centralized collector. It is the foundation of network observability, security event monitoring, and forensic incident analysis. By aggregating SysLog data from across an infrastructure, operators can replay the exact sequence of events leading up to an issue, correlate events across systems, and detect security anomalies.
