Remote Log Port 
The TCP/IP port of the host syslog 
messages should be sent. 
514
is the default port for 
the commonly used system message logging utilities.
Every logged message contains at least a System Time 
and a Host Name. Usually a particular service name which 
generates the system event is specified also within the 
message. Messages from different services have different 
context and different level of the details. Usually error, 
warning or informational system service messages are 
reported, however more detailed Debug level messages 
can be reported also. The more detailed system messages 
are reported, the greater volume of log messages will be 
generated.
