Add Syslog Servers for NSX Nodes

You can use the Node Profiles page in NSX Manager to add syslog servers for NSX Manager and NSX Edge nodes.

By default, the node profile is applied to all nodes, unless the node is configured to not accept such configuration from the NSX Manager. To prevent a node from accepting the node profile, use the CLI command set node central-config disabled on that node.

Procedure

1. From your browser, log in with admin privileges to an NSX Manager at https://nsx-manager-ip-address.
2. Navigate to System > Fabric > Nodes.
3. Click the Node Profiles tab.
4. In the Syslog Servers section, click Add to add a syslog server.
   1. Enter an FQDN or IP address of the syslog server.
   2. Specify a port number.
   3. Select a protocol.
      The available protocols are TCP, UDP, and LI (Log Insight).
   4. Select a log level.
      The available levels are Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Information, and Debug.
   5. Click Add.
5. Repeat step 4 to add more syslog servers, if required.
