To collect logs externally, you configure external syslog servers, called targets.Logging targets are locations where the system logs are collected. In Cisco ISE, targets refer to the IP addresses of the servers that collect and store logs. You can generate and store logs locally, or you can FTP them to an external server. Cisco ISE has the following default targets, which are dynamically configured in the loopback addresses of the local system:
•LogCollector—Default syslog target for the Log Collector.
•ProfilerRadiusProbe—Default syslog target for the Profiler Radius Probe.
To create an external logging target, complete the following steps:
