Syslog server in ciscoworks is pretty simple.

> Configure device to send syslog to ciscoworks

> Subscribe Syslog Collector in Ciscoworks

> Set correct filters and Generate report to see syslogs.

When Syslog is recived in Syslog.log(win)/Syslog_info(sol/lin) Syslog collector pics syslog message from that flat log/text file and send it to Syslog Db after filtering messages as per filter settings.

Subscribing Syslog Collector however differs with LMS version. Please see:

LMS 3.x :
