Configuring a host to receive storage system log messages
Before configuring remote logging for a storage system, you must configure a remote
system running syslog to receive logging messages from the storage system. In many
scenarios, a root/administrator on the receiving computer can configure the remote
syslog server to receive log information by editing the syslog-ng.conf file on the
remote system.
Note
For more information on setting up and running a remote syslog server, refer to the
documentation for the operating system running on the remote system.
Description
Log time is recorded in GMT format and is maintained according to
the storage system time (which may be synchronized to the local
network time through an NTP server).
