Chapter 7 TIBCO syslog : Configuring syslog to Forward Messages

Configuring syslog to Forward Messages
To configure a syslog facility destination on a TIBCO Messaging Appliance P-7500 system for grouping together related messages from a facility to a log file for forwarding to a remote syslog message host, enter the create syslog Global CONFIG command (or just syslog if the syslog destination already exists):
tibco(config)# create syslog <name>
where:
<name> is the name of the user configured syslog destination. The syslog name can contain up to 31 alphanumeric characters, and must be unique among all created syslog destinations.
Note: A maximum of two user configured syslog destinations are permitted per system. The no version removes the user configured syslog destination from the system.
Entering the syslog Global CONFIG command moves you to the Syslog CONFIG level within the CLI for configuring syslog facility and remote host parameters for user configured syslog destinations.
tibco(config-syslog)#
From here you can configure syslog parameters on the system using the following Syslog CONFIG commands:
facility
To add the command or event syslog facility to a user configured syslog destination, enter the facility Syslog CONFIG command:
tibco(config-syslog)# facility {command | event}
Where:
command asks to add the command syslog facility to the user configured destination
event asks to add the event syslog facility to the user configured destination
Note: The no version deletes the specified facility from the user configured destination.
host
To designate a remote syslog message host as a recipient for syslog files, enter the host Syslog CONFIG command:
tibco(config-syslog)# host <hostname-or-address> [transport {tcp | udp}]
Where:
host <hostname-or-address> is either the name of the remote host, or the IP address with optional port number, specified in the dotted decimal notation form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn[:nnn]. TCP port 514 is used as a default if the port number is not provided.
transport {tcp | udp} sets the transport mode used for forwading the syslog file to the remote host to either TCP or UDP, respectively. TCP is used as a default if this parameter is not provided.
Note: The no version removes the specified host from the user configured destination.
