Host logging syslog improvements

FortiOS 6.2.7 syslog host logging sends log messages to syslog servers added to the hardware logging configuration. This release includes a number of host logging changes, including bug fixes and performance improvements.

You no longer have to support host logging to syslog servers by adding syslog servers with the config log syslogd command. The host logging syslog configuration is now the same as the standard hardware logging configuration. This new feature also usually results in improved syslog host logging performance.
