CentOS is a Linux-based operating system derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux that offers strong community support and aims to be stable, predictable and easy to manage. With strongDM, CentOS users can monitor and control access to servers from a centralized entry point. Syslog is a standard message protocol that allows network devices to send messages to a logging server (called a syslog server), making it easier to monitor and review various device logs from multiple machines. strongDM uses standardized messaging protocols like Syslog to send access and session data to a user’s logging tools.
