Remote Logging for ACS

[mmletzko]

I am testing remote logging in ACS. Is it by design that logging from all ACS appliances goes to the same files configured by the Configuration Provider? Whatever is specified in the other ACS appliances is ignored and all entries from all appliances end up being logged to the same file.

Just would like confirmation. Thanks.

Hi

There are some real problems with remote logging:

1) Requires a dedicated server to receive logs

2) Not all logs are supported

3) Constant increased traffic over WAN

4) Added CPU burden on each ACS

5) Increased latency in AAA responses from ACS

Take a look at CSVSYNC. Its our answer to all these issues. A simple CLI driven .exe that can connect via HTTP(s) to any number of ACSs (software and appliace) and pull down *all* csv logs.

It can be scheduled and scripted to run at quiet times.
