In the **Syslog** **Forwarding** page (Settings icon **–>** **Setup** **–>** **Syslog** **Forwarding**) you can specify up to three hosts to receive forwarded syslog messages after they are relayed by NetMRI. This feature is not directly related to notifications through Syslog; notifications enable specification of a discrete Syslog server or servers to receive and handle notifications. The same Syslog server values can be used in both locations.  
 Syslog forwarding enables NetMRI to specify up to three Syslogd-running servers that will receive Syslog messages from the appliance.

**Note:** **Operations** **Center** **only:** Before changing settings in this page, use the **Filter** **by** **Collector** field in the right side of the header to select a Collector.

The Syslog Forwarding page provides three entry fields: **Host** **One**, **Host** **Two** and **Host** **Three**.  
 For each host, also select their respective **Host** **One** **Network** **View**, **Host** **Two** **Network** **View**, and **Host** **Three** **Network** **View**.  
 Specify a host using its IP_address or an IP_address:port tuple. If a port number is not specified, the port number defaults to 514.
