The steps to do the things listed above has been explained in the table below:

StepsProcedure

Steps to configure syslog on remote server (LDAP)

  • Login at remote server
  • Add rule in /etc/rsyslog.conf file to send log on host machine.
    • Open /etc/rsyslog.conf file
    • Go to

          # ### begin forwarding rule ### and add

          *. * @IP-Address:514

          # ### end of the forwarding rule ###

Example: - *. * @192.168.19.48:514 to send log by UDP

  • Restart rsyslog daemon using command “service rsyslog restart”

Steps to configure syslog on the CCE host

  • Open /etc/rsyslog.conf file on host machine(the machine on which the CCE is installed)

  • Add rule to receive syslog from remote server as:

      Go to line at # Provides UDP syslog reception and uncomment these two line as

      $ModLoad imudp

      $UDPServerRun 514

  • Restart rsyslog daemon using command “service rsyslog restart”.

To verify that the CCE is getting logs,Run the following command on the CCE host:

“tail -f /var/log/messages”

The output of this command should show the IP of the LDAP server.
