Sending a Syslog Message
You can automatically forward event messages to the specified syslog
server. The HPDU might not detect the syslog message transmission failure.
If the HPDU detects it, the syslog failure and the reason appear in the
event log.
-
Select Device Settings → Event Rules → + New Action.
-
Select Syslog message from the Action list.
-
In the Syslog Server field, specify the IP address to which the syslog
is forwarded.
-
In the Transport Protocol field, select a syslog protocol: TCP, UDP
(default) or TCP+TLS and perform the steps in the following
table.
|
|
UDP
|
-
In the UDP Port field, type a port number
(default is 514).
-
Select Legacy BSD Syslog Protocol, if
applicable.
|
TCP
|
NO TLS certificate is required. Type a port number
in the TCP Port field.
|
TCP+TLS

A TLS certificate is required. Do the
following:
-
Type a port number in the TCP Port field
(default is 6514).
-
In the CA Certificate field, click Browse,
and select a TLS certificate.
-
Click Show to view the content.
-
Click Remove to delete it if it is not what
you want.
-
Determine whether to select Allow expired
and not yet valid certificates.
-
To always send the event message to the
specified syslog server as long as a TLS
certificate is available, select this
option.
-
To prevent the event message from being sent
to the specified syslog server when any TLS
certificate in the selected certificate chain is
outdated or not valid yet, deselect this
option.
