Forwarding Syslog Messages
The NSM appliances provide a simple mechanism for configuring syslog messaging
between the NSM appliance and a syslog receiver running rsyslog, syslog-NG, or basic
syslog. This mechanism simplifies choosing syslog receivers, data sources of the messages
you want to log, and the message transport used.
For the type of message transport, you can choose among TCP, SSL, and UDP. For rsyslog
or syslog-NG implementations use TCP or SSL. SSL adds security to TCP; if you select
SSL, the NSMappliance creates a secure tunnel to the syslog receiver. UDP messaging
is available for basic syslog implementations.
The following sections provide procedures for managing syslog message forwarding:
•
Viewing Syslog Receivers on page 53
•
Adding and Configuring Syslog Receivers on page 54
• Editing Syslog Receiver Configurations on page 56
• Deleting Syslog Receivers on page 56
Viewing Syslog Receivers
To view the syslog receivers configured on your NSM appliance, follow these steps:
1.
Select System Administration > Syslog Forwarding . The Syslog Forwarding window
appears. Figure 37 on page 55 shows an example.
