Configuring Syslog on the iBMC WebUI
Scenarios
Enable and configure the syslog function on of the iBMC WebUI.
Prerequisites
Conditions
The local client can communicate with the server iBMC.
Data
- Syslog information:
- Information used to identify the source host, for example, the board serial number, product asset tag, or host name
- Transmission protocol to be used, for example, TLS, TCP, or UDP
- Syslog authentication method, for example, one-way or two-way authentication
- Log levels
- Syslog server information and log types:
- Channel status
- Server address
- Server port number
- Types of logs to be reported
Software
A free certificate generation tool, such as OpenSSL, downloaded from the Internet.
Procedure
- Generate certificates.
The certificates required vary depending on the authentication mode:
- One-way authentication: requires a syslog server certificate and a server root certificate.
- Two-way authentication: requires a syslog server certificate, a server root certificate, a syslog client certificate, and a client root certificate.
For details about how to generate certificates, see the user guide of OpenSSL.
- Upload certificates to the syslog server.
Use a file transfer tool that supports SFTP, for example WinSCP, to transfer the certificates to the specified directory (for example /tmp) of the iBMC file system.
- One-way authentication: Upload the server certificate to the syslog server.
- Two-way authentication: Upload the server certificate and client root certificate to the syslog server.
- Log in to the iBMC WebUI.
