Integrate Remote Syslog Collector with LMS 4.1

[jennyjohn]

We have LMS 4.1 in our network. We had recently installed Remote Syslog Collector on a new Server to collect logs from all the devices. How can we integrate the Remote Syslog Collector with the LMS Server?

Thanks in Advance.

You simply have to subscribe the IP address of the Remote Syslog Collector in Ciscowork LMS server under :

Admin > Collection Settings > Syslog > Syslog Collector Status

Once it is subscribed, it should start working, simialar to how it works when Syslog Collector is Local on LMS server.

For more details see docuement :

Thanks Vinod for your reply.

The Syslog Collector Status is showing as up and reachable.

So I guess all I need to do now is configure all my devices to send logs to the syslog collector.

Do I have to do any configuration on the Syslog Collector. There are very limited Configuration options on the Collector.

That looks fine. There is no additional configuration on Collector side. It is pretty straight forward and as soon as it keeps on recieving syslog from devices it should work properly.
