Setup Syslog Configuration

You can configure remote syslog servers for
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
 by using the
Syslog Configuration
 page.
While every collector can potentially have a different remote syslog server, all the platform servers in a cluster use the same remote syslog server.
In the current release, the
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
 problem alerts and platform or collector syslogs are sent to the remote syslog server.
Currently,
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
 supports only UDP for communication between
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
 servers and remote syslog servers. So ensure that your remote syslog servers are configured to accept syslog traffic over UDP.
To configure syslogs:
  1. In the
    Settings
     page, under
    Logs
    , click
    Syslog Configuration
    .
    The
    Syslog Configuration
     page has the configured syslog servers and their mappings to the virtual appliances listed. If you are accessing this page the first time, then the syslog is deactivated by default and the list of servers on this page does not appear.
  2. To add a syslog server:
    1. Click
      Add Server
      .
    2. Enter the IP Address, nickname, and port number of the server. The standard port number for UDP is
      514
      .
      The IP address can be an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or a fully qualified domain name.
    3. To test the configuration, click
      Send Test Log
      .
    4. Click
      Submit
      .
    5. If it is the first server that you have added, then enable syslog at the top of the page.
  3. To map the server to platforms, alerts, or collectors:
    1. Under
      Source - Server Mapping
      , individually edit the server for all platforms, alerts, or collectors.
    2. Select the syslog server.
    3. If you do not want to enable syslog, select the
      No server
       option.
    4. Click
      Submit
      .
      After you make the changes, it can take a few minutes for them to be effective.
