Purpose

This article provides information on how to forward the logs from each of the Cloud Director Availability services to a central syslog server.

Resolution

The logging for each Cloud Director Availability service is controlled by a logback.xml file. To forward the Cloud Director Availability logs to a syslog server, you need to update this file for each service individually. The location of the file for each service is:

Service

Default Location

Cloud Service

/opt/vmware/h4/cloud/config/logback.xml

Manager Service

/opt/vmware/h4/manager/config/logback.xml

Replicator Service

/opt/vmware/h4/replicator/config/logback.xml

Tunnel Service

/opt/vmware/h4/tunnel/config/logback.xml

To forward the Cloud Director Availability logs to a syslog server perform the following steps:

SSH to the Cloud Director Availability component VM whose logs you want to forward.

Navigate to the /opt/vmware/h4/service/config/ directory.

Create a backup of the logback.xml file.

cp -p logback.xml logback.xml.bak

Add the following to the configuration section of the logback.xml file above the root section:

<appender name="SYSLOG" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SyslogAppender">
<syslogHost>syslogIpAddress</syslogHost>
<port>514</port>
<facility>LOCAL7</facility>
<suffixPattern>[C4] [%X{operationID}] [%thread] %-40.40logger{39}: %msg</suffixPattern>
</appender>

Register the new appender by adding the following line to the root section of the logback.xml file:

<appender-ref ref="SYSLOG" />

Save and exit the logback.xml file.

Log into the management portal for the service.

In the left pane, click System Monitoring.

Under System health, click Restart Service.
