Syslog Transfer
This section describes the Syslog transfer function for management modules and
BMC.
Overview
Compute Blade 2000 management modules and BMC can transfer events of user
operation, hereinafter referred to as Audit event, to a syslog server. You can
integrate and manage Audit events in management modules and BMC using the
syslog server.

Audit events at user operation with stopping a
management module, such as shutdown, restart,
and switching, may not be sent depending on the
timing.

When you shut down, restart, or switch a
management module immediately after
performing some operation, or when the
management module fails immediately after your
operation, the audit event may not be sent
depending on the timing.

Syslog transfer is performed in cleartext.
Encrypted communication is not supported.

Port number 514 is fixed for use in Syslog
transfer. The port number cannot be changed.

Only Audit events can be sent to the syslog
server. Events as alert trigger for SC/BSM or
HCSM are not sent to the syslog server.

Audit events in a management module are sent
to the syslog server from the management
module. Audit events in BMC are sent to the
syslog server from BMC. You need to configure
settings for transfer to the syslog server in
management modules and in BMC respectively.

Syslog transfer for BMC is supported only by
standard server blade: X55R3/X55S3/X55R4
models and high-performance server blade: X57
A2 model.
