Setup after installing ft control software

1.11.1 Log Server

VMware ESXi 5.0 or later version does not include a service console. Therefore, this model achieves the syslog
reporting by forwarding the logs generated by ESXi to the log server on which NEC ESMPRO Agent is installed.
To use ftSys Management Appliance as the log server, no additional steps are required after following the steps
in Chapter 1 (1.11.2 Installing Additional Packages
server) and Chapter 2 (1.1 NEC ESMPRO Agent)) of this document, because the log server will be
automatically configured and forwarding the logs generated by the ESXi becomes available.

Note To use any other server than ftSys Management Appliance as the log server, you need to
prepare a Linux server separately. See Chapter 3 (1. Steps for Configuring the Separate

Note If the log server is restarted alone, the log generated during restart is not transferred to log
server.
If the log server is restarted due to restart of ESXi host, the log generated on ESXi host
during the period from the startup of ESXi host to restart of log server, is not transferred to
log server.
After the log server completes its startup process, the log transfer from the ESXi host does
not resume automatically. Thus, run the following command to reload the syslog daemon..
# esxcli –s <IP address or hostname of ESXi host> system syslog reload
