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 for a longer duration.

Configure Syslog server for Archiving

Prerequisites

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

2. External syslog server must be configured in the UDP mode

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

1. Log in to the HyWorks Controller Management Console

2. Go to Host Management > System > Syslog Config

3. Identity: Specify Server name

4. Remote Address: Specify Syslog server IP or Hostname
5. Remote Port: Specify 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 should be sending logs to the configured Syslog server.

Note

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