Configuring Individual PCS/PPS Appliances

After you have configured Pulse One as a syslog server, you must perform the following steps on each PCS/PPS appliance that will use the syslog server:

1.Log into the PCS/PPS appliance.

2.Navigate to System > Log/Monitoring > Events > Settings.

3.Under Select Events to Log, select all options that need tracking. For example:

4.Under Syslog Servers:

•Server name/IP: Enter the FQDN or IP address of the Pulse One appliance.

•Facility: Select an option from the list. This will identify this log type.

To distinguish between different log types (Events, User Access, Admin Access), you must select a different Facility for each type.

•Type: Select TCP.

•Client Certificate: Select Select Client Cert.

•Filter: Select WELF: WELF

5.Click the Add button to add this external syslog server.

6.Click Save Changes to save the configuration.

7.Navigate to System > Log/Monitoring > User Access > Settings.

8.Under Syslog Servers:

•Server name/IP: Enter the FQDN or IP address of the Pulse One appliance.

•Facility: Select an option from the list. This will identify this log type.

To distinguish between different log types (Events, User Access, Admin Access), you must select a different Facility for each type.

•Type: Select TCP.

•Client Certificate: Select Select Client Cert.

•Filter: Select WELF: WELF

9.Navigate to System > Log/Monitoring > Admin Access > Settings.

10.Under Syslog Servers:

•Server name/IP: Enter the FQDN or IP address of the Pulse One appliance.

•Facility: Select an option from the list. This will identify this log type.

To distinguish between different log types (Events, User Access, Admin Access), you must select a different Facility for each type.

•Type: Select TCP.

•Client Certificate: Select Select Client Cert.

11.Select the Advanced Settings tab and enable Fault Tolerance for the Pulse One syslog server.

Once you have performed this procedure for each PCS/PPS appliance, the Pulse One syslog server will accumulate logs from all appliances and log types.

If the data partition of the target system is full or reaches the disk-usage threshold, then the forwarded logs will not be stored. Follow the steps in Managing System Files and Settings to clear older logs.
