    configure system syslog ... for sending local event logs

    system aggregation-client (5.4 or earlier) ... for forwarding logs from another device

    aggregation-client is intended to forward logs received by other logging devices such FGT. system syslog is like send local FAZ event logs to a systlog device.  In your case like FAZ event log may not happen so   often as other logs from other  devices.

    Also it maybe need additional tuning on severity and etc from cli: config sys locallog syslogd filter config sys locallog syslogd settings
