Configuring rsyslog on the Avaya Breeze platform

Last Updated : Nov 08, 2023 |

About this task

You can use the following process to enable the sending of logs from an Avaya Breeze® platform server to a remote rsyslog server.

Check that rsyslog is installed and operating on the server to which the Avaya Breeze® platform will send logs.

Check if rsyslog is already installed on the Avaya Breeze® platform by entering the following command:

rsyslogd -v
If not installed, enter the following command to install rsyslog:

dnf install rsyslog
Open the rsyslog configuration file using the following command:

vi /etc/rsyslog.conf
Locate the # remote host is section and add the address of the rsyslog server:
```
# remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional
*.* @<rsyslog server IP address>:514
```
- Where <rsyslog server IP address> is the address of the rsyslog server.
Close the rsyslog configuration file, saving the changes.

Enter the following command to open the ports the Avaya Breeze® platform client will use to send logs to the remote rsyslog server:

sh /etc/snfw/snfw-nft.sh --nft-custom-add inet filter output oif "eth0" udp dport 514 ct state { established, new } counter accept

Check the status of rsyslog by entering the following commands:

systemctl restart rsyslog
systemctl enable rsyslog
systemctl status rsyslog

On the remote rsyslog server:
1. Under the /var/log/ path, locate the folder with the hostname of the Avaya Breeze® platform server.
2. Enter the folder.
3. Use the tail command to view the most recent logs from the Avaya Breeze® platform.
