Syslog configuration for Isilon

We are configuring Isilon to send syslog information to splunk servers. Could any one suggest how can I perform this or any document refering to this.

Thanks

You've got two options.. You can modify the syslog.conf file like you would any FreeBSD box.  The biggest different is restarting the syslogd process on all nodes of the cluster either manually or by doinga :

isi_for_array -sq 'killall -HUP syslogd'

The other, and easier, option might be hte "isi_log_server" command which will do the same thing as editing the syslong.conf file...  The syntax is:

isi_log_server add [filter]

The filter syntax is the same as syslog.. The default is "*.warn;*.notice;kern.*;ifs.info;istat.none""

Just make sure the remote server is setup to allow remote logging.

Hi,

I'm trying to configure all syslog level 4 / warning and above with the following syntax but it is failing.  What am I doing wrong?

# isi_log_server add 172.19.39.70 *.warn;

zsh: no matches found: *.warn

Does anyone have any recommended syslog level to configure on the Isilon platforms?

TIA,

Amir

# isi_log_server add 172.19.39.70 '*.warn;'


i.e. enclose the last parameter in quotes ' '

otherwise the shell looks out for filenames matching  *.warn,

which is not want you here.


Cheers

This article may also be helpful, especially if you want to just enable forwarding of audit logs: https://support.emc.com/kb/304052
