Isilon syslog collection

Peter,

Thanks for the link, it is very helpfu...  one question - I added the syslog IP by using the isi_log_server add command and then I did a isi_for_array -sq 'killall -HUP syslogd'.  Is there a command to restart the syslog daemon or does it restart on its own?

Thanks,

Sue

Yes, it will be restarted by the system.

Syslogging to a server by hostname will work as well as by IP address.

In either case usually both client and server should

be forward and reversely resolvable (by DNS or /etc/hosts).

Hello Peter,

We use Nessus to scan the syslogs, but Nessus does not use a password to authenticate, rather it uses an authorized key.  Someone on my team has given me the instructions to create this key, but this being somewhat of a striped down version of FreeBSD, I don't feel confident that the commands I was given will not actually create the key.  My question is, can I create a key for Nessus to use to authenticate to OneFS via SSH?  If so, what are the commands to create the keys.  I'm running OneFS 7.0.1.4.

Here are the commands I was given (striped down to protect identity):

mkdir /home/nessusid/.ssh

chmod 700 /home/nessusid/.ssh

chown nessusid:root /home/nessusid/.ssh

echo "ssh-rsa some generated key here== tns@nessus-xx.xxx.xxx " > /home/nessusid/.ssh/authorized_keys

chmod 640 /home/nessusid/.ssh/authorized_keys

chown nessusid:root /home/nessusid/.ssh/authorized_keys

Any assistance would be greatly apprecited.
