Remote Logging (SysLog) - iDRAC - OEMR XL R330
I do need some assistance. The idracs on our servers are not sending any remote syslog. The following has been done from reading the idrac documentation:
1. Overview - Server - Logs - Remote Syslog enabled, correct IP inserted into 'Syslog Server1'.
2. Overview - Server - Alerts - alerts enabled, all alerts filters ticked, most of the 'Remote system log' checkboxes ticked under 'Alerts & remote system log configuration'.
3. Events triggered to produce something in the idrac syslog.
4. My network team report that the 'flow sessions'from the idrac server are empty.
5. idrac firmware updated to 2.61.60.60.
6. Settings checked against the syslog settings on the other idrac server
Remote server is running on the same network as iDRAC and the iDRAC is enterprise so remote syslog is allowed.
I can only think of about that it can be routing problem but I am not sure where I can find the routing table ?
Maybe you can help what can be the problem or point me to the right direction.
Thank you

Hello
It looks like you have performed the steps necessary to enable remote syslog. I suggest reviewing everything again.
Make sure that you use the apply button on each page after changing settings. If you continue having issues then I suggest updating the iDRAC/LCC firmware to the latest.
Thanks

I've done everything which you pointed at. The firmware was already updated to the newest one. License is good, port and other configuration seems to ok.
I tried to test it in Test even field. I found some IDs:
So I inserted TST into the Msg ID box on the Overview – Server – Alerts page and clicked the Test button and it gave an error:
System Alert
RAC0211: Apply failed
Not sure if I've done something wrong or the ID was wrong ?
any thoughts ?
Thank you

I've done everything from the manual and also what Dell engineer pointed at. The firmware was already updated to the newest one. License is good, port and other configuration seems to ok.
