Syslog Config

HyWorks Controller servers can be configured to send logs to an external syslog server.

These configurations are important if the logs must be archived longer.

Configure Syslog server for Archiving

Prerequisites

1. External Syslog server must be installed, running, and accessible from the HyWorks Controller Server.

2. The External Syslog server must be configured in UDP mode.

To configure the Syslog server in HyWorks, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to the HyWorks Controller Management Console.

2. Go to Settings > System > Syslog Config.

3. Identity: Specify the Server name.

4. Remote Address: Specify the Syslog server IP or Hostname.
5. Remote Port: Specify the port on which the syslog server is configured to receive logs.

6. Enable Syslog: Select to send logs to the configured Syslog server.

7. Click Update.

The Syslog server configuration is now complete, and the HyWorks Controller can send logs to the configured Syslog server.

Note

• The Accops Reporting Server (ARS) is configured as the Syslog server, which uses the HyWorks logs to generate reports and graphs to be used by the administrators.
