Set Up Syslog Monitoring
Syslog is a commonly used standard for logging system event messages. The destination of these messages can include the system console, files, remote syslog servers, or relays.
Oracle Log Analytics allows you to collect and analyze syslog data from various sources. You just need to configure the syslog output ports in the syslog servers. Oracle Log Analytics monitors the output ports, accesses the remote syslog contents, and performs the analysis.
Syslog monitoring in Oracle Log Analytics lets you listen to multiple hosts and ports. The protocols supported are TCP and UDP.
View Syslog Data
You can use the Log Source field in the Fields panel of Oracle Log Analytics to view syslog data.
- From Oracle Log Analytics, click Log Source in the Fields panel.
- In the Filter by Log Source dialog box, select name of the syslog source that you created, and click Submit.
Oracle Log Analytics displays the syslog data from all the configured listener ports. You can analyze syslog data from different hosts or devices.
