 In order to configure the syslog server with the CLI, enter this command from the WLC CLI:

    config syslog {ip-address}

and for further detail understanding go through below link.

For step by step syslog configuration, please refer the following link. Under Configuring System and Message Logging Tab.

In CLI, it is just simple 3 line configs as shown below.

config logging syslog host x.x.x.x <- Remote Syslog Server IP
config logging syslog facility local3
config logging syslog level warnings <- Syslog level you want to log

config logging syslog host y.y.y.y  <- If you have multiple syslog host

once you did the config you can verify using "show logging" output

(WLC-1) >show logging 
Logging to syslog : 
- Syslog facility................................ local3
- Logging of system messages to syslog : 
 - Logging filter level.......................... warnings
 - Number of system messages logged.............. 968439
 - Number of system messages dropped............. 0
- Logging of debug messages to syslog ........... Disabled
 - Number of debug messages logged............... 0
 - Number of debug messages dropped.............. 2607
- Number of remote syslog hosts.................. 2
- syslog over tls................................ Disabled
  - Host 0....................................... x.x.x.x
  - Host 1....................................... y.y.y.y
