Greetings Angfe,
You can automate the log transfer to another server in your network.
This setup can be done via the GUI or CLI using the FTP or SCP protocols. Please read specifics below:
GUI (System Administration -> Log Subscriptions)
1. Click on the log name of the log you wish to modify under the 'Log Name' Field
2. Under 'Retrieval Method', you may select 'FTP on Remote Server' or 'SCP on Remote server'
You will need to enter the correct values in the appropriate scenario you choose. If you are not familiar with the correct values, please contact your systems / network administrator as they can help you determine which servers are available in your network.
CLI (Command Line Interface)
See the following CLI sequence:
S-Series> logconfig
[]> edit
[]>
Please enter the name for the log:
[Log_name]>
Log level:
1. Critical
2. Warning
3. Information
4. Debug
5. Trace
[3]>
Choose the method to retrieve the logs.
1. FTP Poll
2. FTP Push
3. SCP Push
Choose the method that you desire to setup. From this point the CLI will walk you through the same connection settings available in the GUI.
These are as follows:
FTP
Maximum Time Interval Between Transferring: 3600 seconds
FTP Host: Host name / IP address of the FTP server
Directory: Remote directory on FTP server (relative to the FTP logon. Typically '/')
Username: FTP username
Password: FTP password
SCP
Maximum Time Interval Between Transferring: 3600 seconds
Protocol: SSH1 or SSH2
SCP Host: Host name / IP address of the SCP Server
Directory: Remote directory on SCP server (relative to the SCP logon. Typically '/')
Username: SCP username
Enable Host Key Checking
Automatically Scan
Enter Manually
NOTE: FTP is a plain text protocol, meaning that sensitive data may be readable by some one who is sniffing network traffic. SCP is an encrypted protocol, thus making sniffing ineffective at snooping data. If the data is sensitive and security is a concern, it is recommended that SCP be used instead of FTP.
Hope this helps!
