The following curl example is equivalent to 

modify sys syslog remote-servers add { sat { host 192.168.184.80 remote-port 514 }}
.

curl -sku admin: https:///mgmt/tm/sys/syslog \
 -H "Content-type: application/json" -X PATCH \
 -d'{"remoteServers":[ {"name":"sat","host":"192.168.184.80","remotePort":514} ]}'

To list the remote servers, run the following (equivalent to 

tmsh list sys syslog remote-servers
😞

curl -sku admin: https:///mgmt/tm/sys/syslog?\$select=remoteServers
