(R)Syslog gets disabled during 4.2.22 to 4.3.2 upgrade

To whom it concerns.

After upgrading our GSM100’s from 4.2.22 to 4.3.2 the (remote) syslog configuration did not work anymore, nothing made it to the ®syslog server. It turned out, the upgrade did set this to “disabled”:

                      ¦                                                                        ¦

On 4.2.x there were no explicit options however, to enable/disable this. It was done by simply datafilling (or not) the URL’s.

Enabling syslog, fixed that too:

The actual target URL “tcp:…” configured survived the upgrade however. Though I recommend to back them up / note them down prior the upgrade.
