Syslog settings
HySecure supports logging to a Syslog server in the syslog format. Specific category of logs like INFO, WARN, ERROR etc. can be configured to be sent to the Syslog server. By default, sending of logs to a syslog server is disabled. If administrator wants to enable syslog on HySecure gateway, then enable syslog option and enter syslog server IP address and port. Once syslog configuration settings are saved, HySecure will start sending logs to the configured syslog server.
Follow the steps to configure a Syslog Server and enable sending of logs to that server
- Open the Management console and expand LOGGING
- Click on Syslog Settings sub-menu
- Different configuration items can be set for the syslog server on this page. The different fields which can be configured are described on this page.
Syslog Status
The Syslog Status indicates the state being "enabled"or "disabled" as appropriate. The state can be reversed by clicking on the button adjacent to the state. So if the current state is disabled, then it can be enabled by clicking on the "enable" button and making the Syslog server configuration effective, and vice-versa. By default, the state is disabled.
