Log to file - Logs the system and driver messages to a log file on the SD card of the gateway.
This log file
can be viewed and downloaded by going to “log messages” page

on the SD card is less than 10% of the total. Default: Disabled.

Sends syslog (UDP 514) message for each system and driver log message. These
log messages can be viewed by taking a Wireshark log. Default: Enabled.

more messages that will be created. Logging levels higher than NORMAL (50) may impact the
performance of the gateway. Default: IMPORTANT (10)
