AvediaServer is a Linux standard Syslog Server used to log information about the system. Logging information can be used by authorised Exterity service personnel to analyze any installation or performance problems experienced on an AvediaServer.
Other devices such as receivers and encoders can send their own log information to this server. Likewise this server can log information to another syslog server if you have a central log server. Logs are retained for 7 days and replaced at 24 hour (daily) intervals.
Note: You can configure the syslog server address for all Exterity IPTV devices using the Director application.
