Description

Information system logging capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Centralized management of log records provides for efficiency in maintenance and management of records, as well as the backup and archiving of those records. The Horizon Connection Server can be configured to send all events to a syslog receiver. Multiple servers can be configured but only the UDP protocol is supported at this time.
