Property | Default Value | Description |
Protocol | UDP | The default protocol for syslog. The collector can also accept logs in TCP. Note: While TCP offers guaranteed delivery of log packets, it places a larger overhead on the LCP. To balance TCP for reliability over UDP for speed/simplicity, contact the Accenture Security MSS onboarding team. |

Signature | Virus/PUS, avservice, MA_tasks | MSS recommended signatures processed by the Symantec CASMA event collector. |
Port Number | 514 | The default port number for syslog. Note: The LCP can be configured to listen on a non-standard port, please advise the Accenture Security MSS onboarding team if this is a requirement |
