Forwarding logs
You can forward the appliance system logs (syslogs) and the audit logs to an external log management server. Your log management server must support the Rsyslog client.
Flex Appliance supports the following:
TLS Anonymous Authentication for log forwarding
X.509 file format for certificate files
To configure or edit log forwarding:
- Sign in to the Flex Appliance Console as a security administrator and click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the page, then click Log forwarding.
- Click Configure or Edit.
- Enter the log forwarding settings. If you want to secure the log transmissions from the appliance to the log server, select Enable TLS log transmission and upload the required certificate files. Cohesity recommends that you enable TLS for security purposes.
- When you are finished, click Save.
To stop forwarding logs
- Sign in to the Flex Appliance Console as a security administrator and click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the page, then click Log forwarding.
- Click Remove.
