Configuring External Syslog Servers

You can forward AmpCon™-DC logs to other external syslog servers.

Prerequisite

You must enable the syslog service of the target server.

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. Enter 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.

Verifying Syslog Configurations

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.
