To configure the Syslog server where the Syslog file should be created, do the following:
Connect to the NetScaler management console from your browser using the URL: <http://NetScaler host:port>.
Login to the NetScaler management console as an administrator.
Expand the System node in the NetScaler management console and further expanding the Auditing node will lead you to the Syslog option. Then, click the Syslog option.
This will bring up a Policies tab and a Servers tab in the right panel, where you can configure Policies for a Syslog server, configure a remote Syslog server and enable Syslog file creation on the server. Selecting the Servers tab will lead you to the page where you can configure the Syslog server in which the Syslog file should be created.
To configure a new Syslog server, click the Add button. This will invoke Create Auditing Server page.
In the Create Auditing Server page, enter the Name of the Syslog server.
Then enter the IP address of the Syslog server in the IP Address text box
Enter the Port at which the Syslog server listens.
Then, indicate what details should be logged in the Syslog file. For the eG tests to work, set the Log Levels flag to ALL.
Set the Time Zone to Local and select the check boxes against TCP Logging, ACL Logging, User Configurable Log Messages and AppFlow Logging. Even though the syslog file is populated with the log messages, the metrics will be displayed in the eG Monitor interface only when these checkboxed are checked.
Finally, click the Create button to configure the Syslog server.
