The log filter/publisher/destination configuration in the gui applies to HSL (high speed logging) which is implemented inside TMOS. HSL allows higher performance and lower overhead logging compared to calling the syslog process in Linux.

 

The cli config (/sys syslog) applies to the Linux syslog process. Lookup high speed logging on askf5 for more info.

 

S_syslog_pipe is a source definition for syslog-ng. It refers to a particular source for log msgs. What that source might be I'm not sure at the moment.
