   * Server address – Enter Log Collector IP Address or FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name).
   * Protocol – Select **UDP** protocol from the drop-down list
   * Port – Enter the port number for the Log Collector.

   ***Below is Applicable only if TCP is selected***

   Upload certificate (optional) – If you selected the TLS protocol and have not yet uploaded a signed CA certificate, click **Browse** to upload a certificate file. Audit logs are not archived to a syslog server without a trusted certificate.

   **Note:** If the certificate becomes invalid later, the TLS handshake will fail. As a result, an error message is posted to the audit log and messages are no longer sent to the syslog server. To resolve this issue, you must fix the certificate on the syslog server and then go to **Settings** > **Audit Log** > **Configure Syslog Servers** > **Test All** .
7. After you click Add, the Configure Syslog Servers dialog box opens and displays your configured syslog server on the page.
