Transfer Logs To A Usb Flash Drive; Configure Remote Logging - Polycom G7500 Administrator's Manual

Transfer Logs to a USB Flash Drive

You can transfer logs to a USB flash drive to free up space on your G7500 system.
Note: Polycom recommends formatting your USB flash drive with the FAT32 file system.
Procedure
1. In the local interface, go to Menu
2. Select Log Management and enter the system's local administrator credentials.
3. Select Start.
Note: Wait until the system displays a message that the log transfer has completed
successfully before you remove the USB flash drive.
The system saves a file in the USB flash drive named according to the settings in the system web
interface.

Configure Remote Logging

In addition to downloading logs locally, you can also configure your G7500 system to send the event
details it collects to a remote logging server (using Syslog or a similar mechanism).
Remember the following about remote logging with your system:
• The system sends logs to remote logging servers over a secure TLS connection.
• You can use more than one remote logging server.
• Logs can be consumed by an intrusion detection system (IDS) and a security information and event
management (SIEM) system.
Procedure
1. In the system web interface, go to Diagnostics > Logs.
2. Configure the following settings and select Save.
Setting
Enable Remote Logging
Polycom, Inc.
> Settings > Diagnostics.
Description
Specifies whether remote logging is enabled.
Enabling this setting causes the system to send
each log message to the specified server in
addition to logging it locally.
The system immediately begins forwarding its log
messages after you click Save.
The system supports remote logging encryption
using TLS. If you use UDP or TCP transport,
Polycom recommends remote logging only on
secure, local networks.
