DESCRIPTION
Use this command to forward appliance logs to an external management server. Currently, only syslog forwarding is supported.
OPTIONS
- LogForwarding Enable
Configure the appliance to forward logs to an external target server. The command requires you to specify the following:
Target server name or IP address
Server port
Protocol (UDP/TCP)
Forward logs (OS, Appliance, AutoSupportClient, Infoscale)
Enabling TLS (yes/no)
- LogForwarding Log
Enable or disable log forwarding for a specific log type (OS, Appliance, AutoSupportClient, Infoscale). You can select only one log type with this command.
When you enable the STIG feature, OS log forwarding is enabled automatically. You cannot disable OS log forwarding when STIG is enabled.
- LogForwarding Share Open
Open NFS and CIFS shares to /inst/share on the appliance. Make sure that you have uploaded valid certificates to an opened share before you enable TLS on the appliance. Two certificates and one private key are required as follows:
ca-server.pem
nba-rsyslog.pem
nba-rsyslog.key
- LogForwarding Share Close
Close the NFS and CIFS shares to /inst/share on the appliance for security purposes.
- LogForwarding Show
View the status of the current log forwarding configuration.
- LogForwarding Disable
Disable the log forwarding feature and delete the current log forwarding configuration.
EXAMPLES
- Enable syslog forwarding on the appliance using TLS.
