Is syslog 514 TCP or UDP?
UDP
Syslog runs on UDP, where syslog servers listen to UDP port 514 and clients (sending log messages) use a port above 1023.
What TCP port is syslog?
The default port for TCP syslog messages is 1468. If you want to listen on a different port for TCP messages, you can enter any port value from 1 to 65535. If you change the port from 1468, the device sending the syslog message must also be able to support the alternate port number.
Is syslog a network protocol?
Syslog is a good thing. It’s a standard network-based logging protocol that works on an extremely wide variety of different types of devices and applications, allowing them to send free text-formatted log messages to a central server.
What transport protocol does syslog use?
user datagram protocol (UDP)
By default, syslog uses user datagram protocol (UDP) to transport messages from “client” to “server”.
Is syslog traffic encrypted?
When using secure syslog, log messages are encrypted and sent over the network using SSL/TLS. When syslog is enabled, the default setting is for the sending syslog clients to connect to the Agent (syslog server) without using an SSL client certificate.
Which service does UDP port 514 belong to?
syslog

Is syslog protocol secure?
Some devices support sending secure syslog messages over the TCP channel with transport layer security (TLS). Kiwi Syslog Server supports Secure (TLS) Syslog (RFC 5425). By default, Kiwi Syslog Server does not listen for TCP messages, because syslog messages are traditionally sent using UDP.
