The transfer protocol used for communicating with the Syslog server. UDP connections are faster as they simply push data to the Syslog server, but do not have the error control capability of TCP. If using UDP and a packet is lost or received in the wrong order, nothing is recorded in the server log. When using TCP, if a packet fails while being sent to the Syslog server, an error message is logged in the [installdirectory]/tomcat/logs folder (where [installdirectory] is the installation directory of
Managed File Transfer
). The TCP connection will keep resending the packet until successful. The default setting is UDP.
