Configuring Syslog

You can run a syslog agent such as rsyslog or syslog-ng in a container to send logs from NCP and related components to a syslog server.

You can use one of the following methods to configure logging. For more information about logging in Kubernetes, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/logging.

• Create a sidecar container that runs in the NCP or the nsx-node-agent pod.
• Run a DaemonSet replica on every node.

Note: With the sidecar container method, NSX CNI plugin logs cannot be sent to the syslog server because the plugin does not run in a pod.
