Configuring remote logging

You can enable remote logging to save log entries on a remote server outside of the appliance. Remote logging can be helpful when you must set a detailed debugging log level to help isolate a problem or monitor behavior over a long time period.

Before you begin

About this task

Use remote logging for analysis of historical data. The appliance keeps only a limited number of log files in the system. Configure remote logging if you require more log files to be saved for further analysis. The remote logging server aggregates the data from multiple appliances, so you can configure your entire collective to send files to the same remote logging server.

Procedure

Configure a remote logging server in the appliance user interface.
  1. In the user interface, click Appliance > Troubleshooting > Logging > Configure remote logging.
  2. Enter the remote host and port for the remote logging server.
  3. Enter the threshold of the severity of messages that you want to send to the remote logging server. To send both warning and severe messages, select WARNING. To send severe messages only, select SEVERE.

Results

Messages are sent to your configured remote logging server for archival and analysis.
