This configuration has to be added for every single node in the cluster

Rsyslog is an open source logging utility that allows for log exporting. The following configuration provides with a very basic log exporting configuration.

  • SSH into the node to export the logs.

  • Launch the fwd-cluster utility and execute the below command:

    Forward Cluster> host syslog

  • When prompted, enter the target (IP address or hostname) of your rsyslog server

  • Enter the port number (ex:514)

  • Enter the protocol (tcp or udp)

  • Review the configuration summary displayed in the table

  • Confirm by entering yes (y) to apply the configuration

    Location Map

  • The utility will automatically update the rsyslog configuration and restart the service.
