Setup forwarding of events and logs to an external application.
Environment
App Control Console: All Supported Versions
Resolution
Log in to the Console and navigate to Settings > System Configuration > Events.
Click Edit and adjust the External Event Logging section accordingly, please note:
The Syslog Address can be specified via IP or FQDN, though FQDN is recommended.
The Syslog Port can be customized, but regardless of port UDP will be used.
After changes have been made, click Update and confirm.
Additional Information
In some instances, very active environments may encounter a limitation in the number of Events that can also be exported via SYSLOG.
App Control Server can output in syslog format. Any application that can ingest syslog format should work.
Currently it is not possible to:
Filter the Events sent from App Control. Filtering should be done in the application ingesting the Events.
Use TCP instead of UDP for the network traffic.
