As a network engineer, you are probably well aware of what a cisco router syslog looks like. Chances are, you have had to spend time reviewing a cisco router syslog as part of a daily responsibility to examine logs for any signs of undesirable traffic being routed by the device. The review of a single cisco router syslog can consume time in and of itself, and the review of ten or more cisco router syslog can be prohibitive to accomplishing other tasks. For this reason, most engineers like to consolidate their cisco router syslog into a single location that allows a more time effective way to browse the data. All the cisco router syslog data can be offloaded to an external syslog server. While the router itself can store and display system logs, the features surrounding that capability are limited to basic display choices. They include no analytical capability, nor long term storage of archival records due to a simple lack of space on the internal memory. Directing the cisco router syslog off to a remote server opens up a new world of analytical tools that can be aimed at the logs to produce reports galore. These analytical features can make scanning for whatever you are looking for in the logs a far more enjoyable experience as you let the intelligence of the program handle the work that was once reserved for a set of human eyes. I have yet to meet a network engineer who would turn down the opportunity to work on daily challenges and projects in lieu of log examination. By no means is a cisco router syslog useless with out centralization, the process of doing so is motivated mostly by convenience for the engineers responsible for reviewing the logs, plus the additional insurance against loss of the cisco router syslog if there is a power failure of the router itself.
