The Syslog protocol provides a transport that allows systems and devices to send event messages across IP networks to event message collectors, also known as Syslog servers. Since the Syslog protocol is embedded in many Operating Systems, as well as in network devices such as routers and switches, it has become the de facto standard in many organizations for event data collection.

The Attention! Alarm Manager Software Syslog Agent acts as a Syslog server on the subnet, and forwards Syslog event messages to the AM server for processing. It provides the link between all Syslog-enabled systems and devices, and real-time alarm processing and notification for important events.
