Detailed explanation-1: -Syslog runs on UDP, where syslog servers listen to UDP port 514 and clients (sending log messages) use a port above 1023. Note that a syslog server will not send a message back to the client, but the syslog log server can communicate, normally using port 514.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you send syslog over the default UDP port, then messages are un-encrypted and can be intercepted and stolen over the network.
Detailed explanation-3: -Syslog, is a standardized way (or Protocol) of producing and sending Log and Event information from Unix/Linux and Windows systems (which produces Event Logs) and Devices (Routers, Firewalls, Switches, Servers, etc) over UDP Port 514 to a centralized Log/Event Message collector which is known as a Syslog Server.
