NSP application log forwarding to syslog servers

Description

To enable NSP application-log forwarding to a syslog server, you must configure the parameters in the nsp—modules—logging—forwarding—applicationLogs—syslog section of the NSP configuration file.

Note: A syslog server address can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address, or a hostname or FQDN that the local NSP cluster and the NFM-P can resolve.

To secure the application-log forwarding, you must generate a TLS certificate on the syslog server and transfer the certificate to the caCertPath location that you specify in the applicationLogs section of the NSP configuration file. During initialization, the NSP imports the certificate to the local trust store.

“What is the syslog record format for NSP application log forwarding?” in the NSP System Administrator Guide describes the NSP application log record format.
