Forwarding logs to an external server
You can forward system logs from a NetBackup Flex Scale cluster to an external log management server. System logs (syslog) contain event and notification messages in a specific format. Forwarding the appliance syslogs to an external log management server provides system administrators a centralized location for viewing logs and for further analysis and troubleshooting. The following log servers are supported:
HP ArcSight
Splunk
NetBackup Flex Scale 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.
To secure the log transmission from the appliance to the log management server, you can use the TLS (Transport Layer Security) option. NetBackup Flex Scale currently supports only TLS Anonymous Authentication for log forwarding.
