Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
Log forwarding to vRops on UDP connection

Environment

VMware vRealize Log Insight 8.x

Resolution

By default, vRops forwards logs over TCP protocol. In order to transfer the logs over UDP protocol, follow the below workaround.

Workaround:
Log in to the vRops node, with root account 

Backup the liagent file before making changes: cp /etc/liagent.ini /tmp

1. vi /etc/liagent.ini 
2. proto = syslog ==> Replace proto = syslog_udp
3. save the file wq!

Note: Perform the above steps on all the vROps nodes in the cluster.
