4.10 Configuring Remote Logging

Use the Remote Logging page to configure logging to a remote Syslog server. Your Syslog server must be configured before you can enable remote logging in Access Manager.

To configure remote logging:

  1. Log in to the appliance management console as the vaadmin user.

    https://mycompany.example.com:9443

  2. Click Remote Logging.

  3. In the Syslog host field, specify the IP address or DNS name of your configured Syslog server.

  4. In the Syslog port field, specify the port that your Syslog server listens on.

    By default, Syslog uses port 514 if you select the UDP protocol, and port 601 if you select the TCP protocol. However, the port is configurable, so check with your Syslog server administrator if you are unsure which port to use.

  5. (Conditional) Change the Syslog protocol as needed for your environment.

    NOTE:SaaS Account Management does not currently support encrypted remote Syslog.

  6. Click Enable.

When you click Enable, the appliance is configured to send log messages to the Syslog server. To change to a different Syslog server, follow the same steps but enter the new information. When you click Update, the previous Syslog configuration on the appliance is replaced with the new values.

NOTE:To disable remote logging on the appliance, click Disable.
