Firewall Wizards: Re: syslog and network management

[Alejandro Ezequiel Fernández Preda <quequiel () ciudad com ar>]

Nad,

Depending on the size of the network and the logging level used, a central 
syslog can be a very busy server. I wouldn't add Cisco Works (which is 
another resource hog) on the same machine, as it could lead on syslog 
message loss under heavy traffic conditions. You should check the 
documentation of your syslog server on how to dimension the machine running 
it, specially if it will be logging to a SQL database

Regards,

Alejandro
