Get To Know Syslog: An Overview | Part 1

Do you know how network devices keep track of all the events locally occurring on each device? 🤔

The answer is System Logging or Syslog. I just dropped a new video on my YouTube channel, and in this video, I provide a high-level overview of Syslog in less than 9 minutes. Syslog is a logging protocol that allows network devices to generate messages for events and status changes on local devices. Syslog has been around since the 1980s and was designed by Erica Allman. Syslog uses UDP port 514. Syslog messages are generated and stored locally on a network device. However, Syslog messages can be sent to a centralized Syslog Server 🤓

This video is part of my popular Tech Nuggets series. The goal of tech nuggets is to cut to the chase & explain tech concepts in the form of small nuggets that you can consume right before walking into a customer meeting or a job interview 🧳
