Description
Starting with appliance software version 3.0, NetBackup appliances introduced the Log Forwarding feature that supports forwarding appliance syslogs to an external log management server. A syslog is an OS system log that contains user and system level activities in the form of events. Use this feature to help increase security and to help achieve general compliance initiatives such as HIPPA, SOX, and PCI. The currently supported log management servers are HP ArcSight and Splunk.
NetBackup appliances use the Rsyslog client to forward logs. In addition to HP ArcSight and Splunk, other log management servers that support the Rsyslog client can also be used to receive syslogs from the appliance. Refer to your log management server documentation to verify Rsyslog client support.
