The NSP includes centralized functions for logging NSP application and user activity. By default, the following are enabled:

• NSP and NFM-P user-activity log forwarding to the Kafka messaging subsystem

• NSP application-log forwarding to OpenSearch

“NSP logging and monitoring” in the NSP System Administrator Guide describes using OpenSearch and NSP Logviewer.

In order to enable one or more NSP centralized logging functions, the following NSP Installation Option must be enabled:

NSP Platform - Logging and Monitoring

Additional logging options

You can also configure the NSP to forward the following:

• application log records to Splunk servers

• NSP and NFM-P user-activity records to a remote syslog server

• NSP application logs and NFM-P server logs to a remote syslog server

• NSP application logs to a remote Elasticsearch server

Note: You can specify separate syslog servers for application and user activity log forwarding, as described in Description and User activity log forwarding to syslog servers.

Note: The forwarding of NSP application logs and NFM-P server logs to a syslog server is supported over a TLS-secured or non-secure connection.
