Configuration
GridServer log items can be sent to a centralized syslog daemon, which is then used for capture by LogLogic. This is configured in the Manager Configuration or the Engine Configuration.
Manager Configuration
To configure syslog output for a Manager, go to Admin > System Admin > Manager Configuration > Logging > Syslog.
Engine Configuration
To configure Syslog output for a group of Engines, go to Grid Components > Engines > Engine Configurations and edit the properties in the Logging to a Syslog Server section. This affects all Engines using that Engine Configuration.
