Using syslog

Post by hendrixj »

I'm sure it is in the documentation, but i don't know where.

The syslog function sends udp datagrams to the host of my choice. What destination port on the host does it use?

Thanks
John

Yes, 514 is the 'official' syslog well-known port.

Here's a reasonable listing of the well known port numbers:
