Issue/Introduction

You would like to send syslog  information on something other than UDP 514.

Resolution

Starting in SGOG 7.2 the ability to add syslog servers or TCP/UDP/SSL in the CLI only.  This cannot be done in the GUI management console:

 

# (config event-log) syslog add [udp] {host_name | ip_address} [port]

Adds a Syslog loghost with UDP. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address of your loghost server, or specify a domain name that
resolves to an IPv4 or IPv6 address. If you do not specify a port number, port 514 is used by default.

# (config event-log) syslog add tcp {host_name | ip_address} [port]

Adds a Syslog loghost with TCP. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address of your loghost server, or specify a domain name that
resolves to an IPv4 or IPv6 address. If you do not specify a port number, port 6514 is used by default.

# (config event-log) syslog add tls {host_name | ip_address} [port] [ssl_device_profile_name]

Adds a Syslog loghost with TLS. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address of your loghost server, or specify a domain name that
resolves to an IPv4 or IPv6 address. If you do not specify a port number, port 6514 is used by default. Specify an existing SSL
device profile to secure the appliance’s communication with the Syslog server
