Log Server
VMware ESXi 5.0 or later version does not include a service console. Therefore, this model achieves the syslog
reporting by forwarding the logs generated by ESXi to the log server on which NEC ESMPRO Agent is installed.
To set-up the log server, the below case exists.
Use ftSys Management Appliance as the log server
Use any server other than ftSys Management Appliance as the log server
To use ftSys Management Appliance as the log server, no additional steps are required after following the steps
in
Chapter 1 (1.10.2 Installing Additional Packages
–
When ftSys Management Appliance is set as the log
server)
and
Chapter 2 (1.1 NEC ESMPRO Agent))
of this document, because the log server will be automatically
configured and forwarding the logs generated by the ESXi becomes available.
Note
To use any server other than ftSys Management Appliance as the log server, need to
prepare a Linux server separately. After completing procedure of this Chapter1, see
Chapter 3 (1. Steps for Configuring the Separate Log Server)
of this manual for how to
configure the Linux server.
The case of using ftSys Management Appliance as the Log Server.
The case of using other Linux server as the Log Server.
Note
If the log server is restarted alone, the log generated during restart is not transferred to log
server.
