Forwarding Logs to External Syslog Servers

To forward AmpCon-DC logs to other external Syslog servers, configure as follows:

Prerequisite

Ensure that the Syslog service of the target server is enabled.

Procedure

To update the encrypt key, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the AmpCon-DC UI, and click Service > System Config.

2. On the “Global System Config” page, click Syslog Config.

3. Input the following information:

   • IP: The IP address of the external Syslog server.

   • Port: The port number of the external Syslog server.

   • Protocol: TCP or UDP.

   • Level: SUCCESS or ERROR. The mapping rules of Ampcon-DC Log levels and Syslog rules are as follows:

     • SUCCESS is equal to info (level=6)

     • ERROR is equal to warning (level=4)

For example, if the ERROR level is specified, the Syslog server receives logs with a warning level or higher from Ampcon-DC.

4. Click Add.

1. Log in to the AmpCon-DC UI, and click Service > System Config.

2. In the License Portal User field, enter an incorrect username, and click Save.

3. Access the AmpCon-DC server by using MobaXterm for verification.
