F DIF,EXEC SETDUMP SYSLOG DAEMON - DIF has an interface to syslog servers using the BSD syslog daemon protocol. The syslog protocol was originally developed on the University of California Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) TCP/IP system implementations. Over time, the syslog protocol has been ported to many other operating systems as well as being embedded into many network devices. Syslog servers are now the event log collectors used for many hardware and software products. For more information, examine “Writing Messages and Records to a Syslog Daemon” on page 4-14 in the Rules Language Programming Guide.
