Integrate with Syslog

The integration with Syslog allows you to configure email notifications that you can receive daily or any time there is a change to a Best Practice Check or alert.

To learn how to configure your integration with Syslog, review the procedure.

Procedure

  1. From the left navigation bar, choose Account Settings > Integrations > Configurations.

    The Integration Configurations page opens.

    A message indicates that your integration was created successfully.

  5. Click OK.

    The page displays the new integration.

  6. Click (green plus sign) to review the details.

    In this example, since there were no previous integrations; your newly-entered account is the only listed account. A yellow circle with an exclamation point inside ( ) indicates that you need to provide additional information before the integration is complete.
