Use the following procedure to enable the syslog server, change the syslog server, change which events are forwarded, and disable syslog forwarding.

Prerequisites

To use TLS for the syslog connection:

  • Import the syslog server security certificate into PowerProtect Data Manager. The PowerProtect Data Manager Security Configuration Guide provides instructions.
  • By default, PowerProtect Data Manager uses anon authentication. If your syslog server uses another form of authentication, contact Customer Support.

    The Logs window opens to the Syslog page.

To enable syslog forwarding:

  1. Move the Syslog Forwarding slider to the right to enable syslog forwarding.
  2. Provide the following information:
    • IP Address / FQDN—IP address or fully qualified domain name of the syslog server.
    • Port—Port number for PowerProtect Data Manager and syslog server communications.
    • Protocol—Protocol to use for communications (TLS, UDP, or TCP).
    • Components—Syslog message components.
    • Severity Level—Specify the scope of the messages to forward to the syslog server.

To change the syslog server:

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, click Settings icon, select Logs, and then click Syslog.
    The Logs window opens to the Syslog page.
  2. Change the following syslog configuration details:
    • IP Address / FQDN—IP address or fully qualified domain name of the syslog server.
    • Port—Port number for PowerProtect Data Manager and syslog server communications.
    • Protocol—Protocol to use for communications (TLS, UDP, or TCP).

To change which events are forwarded:

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, click Settings icon, select Logs, and then click Syslog.
    The Logs window opens to the Syslog page.
  2. Change the Components and Severity Level.

To disable syslog forwarding:

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, click Settings icon, select Logs, and then click Syslog.
    The Logs window opens to the Syslog page.
  2. Move the Syslog Forwarding slider to the left to disable syslog forwarding.

To apply the changes:

  1. Click Save.

Next steps

Once the syslog configuration is complete, check the connection status. Go to System Settings > Logs > Syslog and verify that the syslog server connection status indicates Connected. If the syslog server is not connected, the status indicates Not Connected.
