2.4 Configuring Logging to a Syslog Server

Secure API Manager allows you to send all of the logs to a Syslog server so that you can analyze the logs. You configure logging in the Deployment Manager. You can enable logging during the deployment or after the deployment of Secure API Manager.

The logging settings are global. You configure logging on one appliance and all of the appliances in the system receive the information. This allows all of the clustered nodes to send the logs to one Syslog server so it is easier to access and analyze the logs.

To enable logging:

  1. Log in to the appliance management console as root or vaadmin on any appliance in your Secure API Manager system.

  4. Select ENABLED.

  5. Specify the IP address or DNS name of the Syslog server with the port and the protocol that your Syslog server uses.
