Log Server Distribution (asg_log_servers)

In SmartDashboard, you can configure multiple log servers for each gateway object. In such an environment, the gateway sends its logs to all of its configured log servers. If the gateway object is a 61000/41000 Security System (consisting of many SGMs), each SGM sends its logs to all log servers in the configuration. To reduce the load on the log servers, use asg_log_servers to enable log distribution (load sharing).

When enabled, each SGM sends its logs to one log server only. The 61000/41000 Security System automatically decides which log server is assigned to which SGM. This cannot be defined by the user.
