Forwarding Syslog Messages
NSMXpress provides a simple mechanism for configuring syslog messaging between the
NSMXpress 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, NSMXpress 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:
•
