Building and Running
********************
For configuring the remote IPv6 syslog server, set the following
variables in prj.conf file:
.. code-block:: cfg
CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_NET=y
CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_NET_SERVER="[2001:db8::2]:514"
Default port number is 514 if user does not specify a value.
The following syntax is supported for the server address
and port:
.. code-block:: console
192.0.2.1:514
192.0.2.42
[2001:db8::1]:514
[2001:db8::2]
2001:db::42
Build syslog_net sample application like this:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/net/syslog_net
