    admin@nvos:~$ nv set system syslog selector <selector-id> severity info
            

  • Attach the selector to the server with priority:

    admin@nvos:~$ nv set system syslog server <IP address/hostname> selector <priority> selector-id <selector-id>
            

    Note

    If multiple selectors are attached to a single syslog server, they are applied using an OR condition. This means a log line may be sent more than once if it matches more than one selector. To prevent this, it is recommended to use a single selector with combined options (such as severity and filters).

• (Optional) Set the protocol over which to communicate with remote syslog server

  admin@nvos:~$ nv set system syslog server <IP address/hostname> protocol tcp
