## Syslog 

The syslog protocol is a standard protocol for forwarding log messages from a sender to a receiver on an IP network. The IP network can be IPv4 or IPv6. The system can send syslog messages to a syslog server that notify personnel about an event. 

The IBM FlashSystem 900 can transmit syslog messages in expanded or concise format. You can use a syslog manager to view the syslog messages that the system sends. A single syslog server can receive log messages from various systems and stores them in a central repository. The IBM FlashSystem 900 uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to transmit the syslog message.
