Configure Syslog

Enabling Cluster-wide Syslog

1. Create cluster-control fact:

   dashboard$ touch /var/run/cluster-control/facts/enable-cluster-syslog

2. Update VMs to point to 169.254.169.254 as their syslog server via port 514 TCP or UDP. A link-level route to that specific IP may be needed. Syslog traffic will be routed to the hypervisor and subsequently the dashboard.

Changing syslog protocol

The default syslog protocol for the dashboard node is TCP if it has not been set. It can be altered via a cluster control fact by creating the file below and declaring either tcp or udp:

root@hypercloud-dashboard:~# echo udp > /var/run/cluster-control/facts/node-dashboard-syslog-proto
root@hypercloud-dashboard:~# touch /var/run/restart/syslogd
