You can change the settings for the syslog server used for archiving audit logs, and also upload a new Certificate Authority (CA) certificate for the server.

Before you begin

  • You must be logged in with a user profile that includes Security admin permissions. Otherwise, the Access Management functions do not appear.

  • The syslog server address, protocol, and port number must be available. The server address can be a fully qualified domain name, an IPv4 address, or an IPv6 address.

  • If you are uploading a new CA certificate, the certificate must be available on your local system.

Steps

  1. Select Settings › Access Management.

  2. From the Audit Log tab, select Configure Syslog Servers.

    Configured syslog servers are displayed on the page.

  3. To edit the server information, select the Edit (pencil) icon to the right of the server name, and then make desired changes in the following fields:

    • Server Address — Enter a fully qualified domain name, an IPv4 address, or an IPv6 address.

    • Protocol — Select a protocol from the drop-down list (for example, TLS, UDP, or TCP).

    • Port — Enter the port number for the syslog receiver.

  4. If you changed the protocol to the secure TLS protocol (from either UDP or TCP), click Import Trusted Certificate to upload a CA certificate.

  5. To test the new connection with the storage array, select Test All.

Results

After configuration, all new audit logs are sent to the syslog server. Previous logs are not transferred.
