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 Onboarding team.

Host Names / IP Addresses

<DEVICE HOSTNAME or IP>

Provide Hostname or IP address of the device which forwards logs to the LCP

Signatures    

 

 

Port Number    

514

The default port for UDP. For TCP, the default port is 601.

Note: The LCP can be configured to listen on a non-standard port, please advise the Accenture Security Onboarding team if this is a requirement.
