+====== Remote Syslog ======
+===== Introduction =====
+Setting up up syslog remote logging server is good for fault finding.
+When logging connect your gargoyle router to the logging server with an Ethernet cable for more reliable results
 ===== Client =====
+Setup your gargoyle router as a syslog client by making a SSH connection to the router and then run the following commands.
-I think it would be very useful if it would be possible to set log_ip from the webinterface. I have now set it with SSH:
+NOTE: Change the IP address to your **syslog server**
+==== Set IP server address ====

-But I think that it could be useful for other people.
+If the setting are "log_ip" then all syslog messages get sent to that IP address (where a syslog server should be running).
-If setting log_ip all syslog messages gets sent to that IP address (where a syslog server should be running).
+==== Increase logging Level ====
+Increase the type of message which are sent to the syslog server
-Any idea how to increase the log level of syslog, I want everything from logread/dmesg logged into remote syslog.

 ===== Server =====
+==== OS X ====
+For Mavericks 10.9, and probably earlier:
+You need to edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
+Look for the Sockets key and add a new section for NetworkListener:
+<code>
+  <key>Sockets</key>
+  <dict>
+    […]
+    <key>NetworkListener</key>
+    <dict>
+      <key>SockServiceName</key>
+      <string>syslog</string>
+      <key>SockType</key>
+      <string>dgram</string>
+    </dict>
+  </dict>
+</code>
+The easiest way to do this without running afoul of cached preferences is:
+<code>
+cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
+sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add :Sockets:NetworkListener dict" com.apple.syslogd.plist
+sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add :Sockets:NetworkListener:SockServiceName string syslog" com.apple.syslogd.plist
+sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add :Sockets:NetworkListener:SockType string dgram" com.apple.syslogd.plist
+sudo launchctl unload com.apple.syslogd.plist
+sudo launchctl load com.apple.syslogd.plist
