Hi All ,

Currently syslog messages collected locally on the network device are trans=
mitted to the remote syslog servers as per RFC 5424 (UDP protocol used for =
transmission) and RFC 3195 (TCP protocol used for transmission)

However, we have observed that increasingly, customers are using syslog mes=
sages archived in the remote server for business logic .

In some networks, it is possible that some of the syslog messages may be dr=
opped due to link failure or other network conditions.
However, the customers are expecting much higher resiliency for the syslog =
messages.


The questions we seek clarification are:

a)         What are the expectations from the external syslog delivery?

b)         Should we rely on syslog's alone ? Please note that SNMP traps f=
unctionality for network management is also there.?


Your thoughts and suggestions much appreciated.


Regards,
Aditya dogra
