Question
How can a Palo Alto Networks firewall be configured to send syslog messages in a format compatible with non-standard syslog servers?

- CEnable support for non-standard syslog messages under device management.
- DCreate a custom log format under the syslog server profile.
Explanation
On a Palo Alto Networks firewall, syslog server profiles (Device > Server Profiles > Syslog) include a 'Custom Log Format' section where administrators can define per-log-type format strings for each log category (Traffic, Threat, System, Config, etc.). This allows the firewall to produce syslog output in whatever field order or delimiter a non-standard syslog server expects. Option B is a distractor-there is no 'custom-format check box' in the UI. Option A is fabricated. Option C does not exist as a setting under device management.
