How do I use remote syslogging with the APC Console Port Server?
Product Line
Rack Accessories
APC Console Port Servers (AP9301, AP9302, AP9303) - discontinued
Environment
All serial numbers
All firmware versions
Cause
It is advisable to configure the APC Console Port Server to send system syslog messages to a remote syslog host. This prevents an intruder from tampering with syslog messages stored locally.
Resolution
On the APC Console Port Server, remote syslogging is configured in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf. The following statements appended to /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf will log system messages, with level warn or higher, to a remote syslog server at 10.0.0.1.
