Create or overwrite a syslog integration in Automation Orchestrator

You can configure Automation Orchestrator to send your logging information to one remote syslog server.

The vracli remote-syslog set command is used to create a syslog integration or overwrite existing integrations.

The Automation Orchestrator remote syslog integration supports three connection types:

Over UDP.
Over TCP without TLS.
Note: To create a syslog integration without using TLS, add the --disable-ssl flag to the vracli remote-syslog set command.
Over TCP with TLS.

For information on configuring a logging integration with Operations for Logs, go to Configure Logging Integration with Operations for Logs.

Prerequisites

Configure a remote syslog server.

Log in to the Automation Orchestrator Appliance command line as root.
To create an integration to a syslog server, run the vracli remote-syslog set command.
```
vracli remote-syslog set -id name_of_integration protocol_type://syslog_URL_or_FQDN:syslog_port
```
Note: If you do not enter a port in the vracli remote-syslog set command, the port value defaults to 514.

Note: You can add a certificate to the syslog configuration. To add a certificate file, use the --ca-file flag. To add a certificate as plaintext, use the --ca-cert flag.
(Optional) To overwrite an existing syslog integration, run the vracli remote-syslog set and set the -id flag value to the name of the integration you want to overwrite.

Note: By default, the Automation Orchestrator Appliance requests that you confirm that you want to overwrite the syslog integration. To skip the confirmation request, add the -f or --force flag to the vracli remote-syslog set command.

To review the current syslog integrations in the appliance, run the vracli remote-syslog command.
