Using remote log files

Use remote log files to automatically write log files to a computer other than the storage system. For
example, you can direct the log files for one or more storage systems to a single log server in a remote
location. The computer that receives the log files is called the Remote Log Target.
You must also configure the target computer to receive the log files.

2. Open the tree below the storage system and select Diagnostics.
3. Select the Log Files tab.
4. Click Log File Tasks and select Add Remote Log Destination.

The Log Type list only contains logs that support syslog.
6. In the Destination field, type the IP address or host name of the computer that will receive the
logs.
For a Windows operating system, find out the name of the remote computer with Control Panel
> System Properties > Computer Name.
7. Click OK.
The remote log appears in the Remote logs list on the Log Files window.

Configuring the remote log target computer

Configure syslog on the remote log target computer. Refer to the syslog product documentation for
information about configuring syslog.

The string in parentheses next to the remote log name on the Log Files tab includes the facility and
level information that you will configure in syslog. For example, in the log file name: auth error
