Fix Recommendation

Log on to the OS of the JBoss server with OS permissions that allow access to JBoss.

Using the relevant OS commands and syntax, cd to the “<JBOSS_HOME>/bin/” folder.

Run the “jboss-cli” script.
Connect to the server and authenticate.
To add a syslog handler:
Standalone configuration: "/subsystem=logging/syslog-handler=<HANDLER_NAME:add>"
Domain configuration: "/profile=default/subsystem=logging/syslog-handler=<HANDLER_NAME:add>"

To configure a syslog handler:
Standalone configuration. "/subsystem=logging/syslog-handler=<HANDLER_NAME:write-attribute(name=ATTRIBUTE_NAME, value=ATTRIBUTE_VALUE)" Domain configuration. "/profile=default/subsystem=logging/syslog-handler=<HANDLER_NAME:write-attribute(name=ATTRIBUTE_NAME, value=ATTRIBUTE_VALUE)"

*reference the RedHat web-site for the list of syslog handler attributes and corresponding values. Sample attributes include but are not limited to: port, enabled, app-name, level, server-address, hostname, etcetera.
