I'm trying to use my Mac Mini server as a remote log server for our router. I set the router to forward the logs to the server but I'm not seeing the logs anywhere in the console app.
Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot in advance.

You have to configure the OS X (or any other OS) to accept remote syslogs using something like
syslogd
. This article has a very basic tutorial on this.Simply pointing a device's syslog application to a remote machine isn't enough, if it were malicious users would be able to make a system run full disk with little effort.
