Issue:
DCE compatibility with syslog servers
Product Line:
Data Center Expert
Environment:
Data Center Expert
Cause:
A customer may want to direct system logs for Data Center Expert on a log server.
Resolution:
As of Data Center Expert version 8.1.0 event log messages can now be forwarded to a Syslog server. Go to System > Server Administration Settings > Syslog Configuration to enable Syslog integration and configure settings. All the data in the event log messages are transmitted over Syslog, including usernames, email addresses, and information about share locations.
• Note: Syslog functionality may differ depending on the Syslog server being used.
You can also point the individual network management cards to a syslog server. It is possible to perform a mass configuration through Data Center Expert. https://www.se.com/us/support/index?page=content&country=US&lang=EN&locale=en_US&id=FA316801
Here you can add a syslog server IP and port for your appliances. For detailed information on each appliance, please contact the respective device support.
You can also individually configure NetBotz V3 (discontinued) devices to post directly to syslog under the "Log" option in NetBotz Advanced View.
