A Cloud Proxy receives log and event information from monitored sources and sends this information to VMware Aria Operations for Logs (SaaS), where it can be queried and analyzed. The Cloud Proxy includes a built-in syslog server that is constantly active when the Cloud Proxy is running.

Important:

The Cloud Proxy is deprecated. You can continue to use your existing Cloud Proxy configurations, but there will be no new feature updates to the Cloud Proxy.

Messages that the syslog server ingests become searchable in the VMware Aria Operations for Logs (SaaS) web user interface near real time.

Note:

The maximum size supported for UDP syslog messages is 1024 bytes.

For port information about the Cloud Proxy, see Port Requirements of Cloud Proxy and Cloud Native Collector.
