setting up syslog?

i've looked through the docs for info on logging to a remote syslog server via udp, everything i've tried results in the same error - anyone have any ideas?

 b syslog remote server x.x.x.x        
   BIGpipe parsing error:    
     012e0022:3: The requested value (x.x.x.x) is invalid (show |  | none) [add | delete]) for 'remote server' in 'syslog'

 b syslog remote server x.x.x.x remote port 514    
   BIGpipe parsing error:    
     012e0022:3: The requested value (x.x.x.x remote) is invalid (show |  | none) [add | delete]) for 'remote server' in 'syslog'

using v10:

 uname -a   
   Linux blahblah.com 2.4.21-10.0.1.283.0smp 2 SMP Tue May 12 18:23:09 PDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Is there a way we can include the Management IP instead of the hostname on the sys-log?

is template customization similar to this useful?
