The following command specifies the severity levels of event messages to send to a Syslog server:
logging syslog [severity-level]

The following command specifies a Syslog server to which to send event messages:
logging host ipaddr [ipaddr...][port protocol-port]
"ipaddr" is the IP address of the Syslog server. IP addresses can be entered for up to 10 remote logging Syslog servers."protocolport" is the port number to which to send messages. Only one protocol port can be specified with the command. All servers must use the same port to listen for syslog messages.

Since the Audit log is separate from the Event log, it must have its own target to write messages to:
logging auditlog host [ipaddr | hostname][facility facility-name]
"ipaddr | hostname" is the IP address or hostname of the server.
"facility-name" is the name of a log facility.

The A10 Networks ADC must off-load audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited.
