Setting up DNA as Syslog server

[gshank]

Could someone link me to documentation that shows how to set up DNA as a syslog server? We're moving away from Prime and Solarwinds and I'd like to use DNA Center for syslogs. The only documentation I can find is how to point DNA to an external syslog server, which is not what I need. Thanks!

Hello,

You will not be able to just use the DNA center as a syslog server. If you need just that there are better and cheaper solutions out there  

DNA center will help you do a lot more than just collect syslogs. A more detailed document regarding adding new devices to DNA-C can be find below:

Thanks Daniel, we're migrating away from Solarwinds and Prime and while we are implementing DNA I thought maybe it could be used as a syslog server as well. Thank you for your input!

Do not "put eggs in one basket". 

If DNAC needs to be rebuilt, all the accumulated syslogs will be lost.
