VAs and remote syslog

[moss_snake_01 (Tim Hoke)]

Hello,

I’m looking into getting a solution set up to forward ccg logs captured into Splunk for the VAs we use. Since the VA is an appliance, I understand that I can’t really modify anything to enable services like rsyslog.

Has anyone had any experience with forwarding to a remote syslog using the log4j configuration properties file? I was hoping to follow something like Configure SyslogAppender in log4j.properties in Alfresco - Stack Overflow

Hi,

AFAIK you cannot get use log4j in VA. One option you can use is to create a bash script and with windows task scheduler you can pull the VA log file into the windows server.

From windows server you can forward it according to requirement.

Thanks, @Abhinov7 , for the reply! I was going to look into doing something similar, but with the HEC that we have with Splunk and scheduling a ongoing curl of the log contents to it.
