Customizing the syslog server address

Specify the following values in the SERVER statement in the $$$SERVR member of the amihlq.PARM data set: 

  • IP address of the BMC Defender Server or syslog console
  • IP port number (if it is not the standard syslog default, port 514)

The IP address and optional port are specified on the SERVER statement in the parameter file as a host name or in IPv4 dotted format.
