  • the Platform Audit logs to record all administrative, privileged, and security actions.
  • Push the audit logs to a remote server by specifying the following:
    • Remote host IP address
    • Port number
    • Protocol type

When these fields are configured and the state of the object Platform Audit Logs is enabled, the /etc/rsyslog.conf file of the SBC is automatically configured to send the audit logs to the remote server. The SBC automatically adds an Access Control List (ACL) rule to send the audit logs through the application layer to the remote server.

Info
titleNote
  • The ACL rule is removed automatically from the default ACL rules when the object Platform Audit Logs is disabled.
  • For a High Availability (HA) pair, the /etc/rsyslog.conf file is updated both on the Active and the Standby SBCs to push the audit logs to the remote server.
