Syslog Targets
ClearPass Policy Manager can export session data (see Live Monitoring: Access Tracker), audit records (see Audit Viewer), and event records (see Event Viewer). You can send this information to one or more syslog targets (servers).
When adding a syslog target, you must perform all tasks from a single browser tab. The Policy Manager WebUI uses server-side session caching during add or edit workflows, so performing add or edit actions on the same syslog target from different tabs of the same browser can lead to data loss and impact network access.
