In this guide, we will walk through the single steps needed to be done to set up a syslog server on a USG!
Walkthrough Steps
1. Access your device by entering its IP address in the browser address line and login by using the device credentials
2. Navigate to
Configuration > Log & Report > Log Settings
3. Choose a Remote Server and edit it
4. Activate the log for the server and enter the IP address of the server (192.168.1.1 is just an example)
5. Select the Categories you want to have on your syslog server (normal = default logs, debug = very detailed logs, disable = no logs)

There is a hell of a lot missing.
Syslog Source IP?
Syslog Source Interface?
Syslog Destination Interface *ok can probably done via route.
How can one send syslogs through a VPN Tunnel?
Hi Markus ,
You just need ip of device.
You dont need Interface for this action.
If you want send syslog through VPN you need first setup it.

Hi, nope that will not work. I do not allow all LAN Networks inside the Tunnel (In this particular setup, I have 5 LAN Networks). If the firewall is using the interface IP from a Network that I do not tunnel, it cannot traverse through the tunnel. Thus it is important to have a source IP for syslog messages. It is a necessary option to define with what IP the Firewall is sending its own syslog messages.
I will rephrase:
I have
LAN1 - 192.168.1.1 (Firewall IP)
LAN 2 - 192.168.2.1
LAN 3... etc etc
Which IP is the Firewall using to send Syslogs? Assuming it is using one of the LAN Interface IP Addresses?
Hi,
I add it to main request,
