About forwarding logs to an external server

This feature can forward NetBackup Appliance system logs (syslogs) to an external log management server.

The following types of log severs are supported:

  • Splunk

NetBackup Appliance uses the Rsyslog client to forward logs. In addition to Splunk, other log management servers that support the Rsyslog client can also be used to receive syslogs from the appliance. Refer to the log management server documentation to verify Rsyslog client support.

You can view, enable, and disable log forwarding from the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.
