How do I create or update a syslog integration in
VMware Aria Automation

You can configure
VMware Aria Automation
 to send your logging information to remote syslog servers.
Configure a remote syslog server.
The
vracli remote-syslog set
 command is used to create a syslog integration or overwrite existing integrations.
VMware Aria Automation
 remote syslog integration supports the following connection types:
  • Over UDP.
  • Over TCP without TLS.
    To create a syslog integration without using TLS, add the
    --disable-ssl
     flag to the
    vracli remote-syslog set
     command.
  • Over TCP with TLS.
You can only configure a single remote logging integration.
VMware Aria Operations for Logs
 is prioritized in the event that both a
VMware Aria Operations for Logs
 server and a syslog server are available.
For information on configuring logging integration with
VMware Aria Operations for Logs
, see How do I configure log forwarding to VMware Aria Operations for Logs in VMware Aria Automation.
  1. Log in to the
    VMware Aria Automation
     appliance command line as
    root
    .
  2. To create an integration to a syslog server, run the
    vracli remote-syslog set
     command.
    vracli remote-syslog set -id name_of_integration protocol_type://syslog_URL_or_FQDN:syslog_port
    If you do not enter a port in the
    vracli remote-syslog set
     command, the port value defaults to 514.
    You can add a certificate to the syslog configuration. To add a certificate file, use the
    --ca-file
     flag. To add a certificate as plaintext, use
    --ca-cert
     flag.
  3. To overwrite an existing syslog integration, run the
    vracli remote-syslog set
     and set the
    -id
     flag value to the name of the integration you want to overwrite.
    By default, the
    VMware Aria Automation
     appliance requests that you confirm that you want to overwrite the syslog integration. To skip the confirmation request, add the
    -f
     or
    --force
     flag to the
    vracli remote-syslog set
     command.
To review the current syslog integrations in the appliance, run the
vracli remote-syslog
 command.
