| Introduction Spectracom’s NetClock® products provide critical timing services to various networking devices. NetClock products support external logging to Syslog servers, a common centralized collector for error messages that is preferred by many network administrators.  Why Use Syslog? NetClock local logs are extremely useful in monitoring and troubleshooting timing issues in the enterprise network. (The 9300 & 9200 Series NetClock offers enhanced logging features.) "Syslog" is an industry convention for collecting these logs or messages from network devices such as NetClock products. Syslog stores this information on centralized Syslog servers. This produces tangible benefits: - The network administrator may use Perl scripts or other utilities to monitor for specific patterns in the incoming log messages, such as evidence of multiple, denied authentication accesses. This practice provides real-time monitoring of network conditions.
- If a user edits or deletes the local logs on a network device, the administrator may review the protected logs on the Syslog server, which typically operates under higher security.
