Setting Up a Remote Syslog Server
2 minute read.
Last Modified 2024-04-22 15:56 EDTTrueNAS CORE allows users to configure a remote system logging server using any of the three transport protocols supported in CORE. Options are UDP, TCP, or TLS. The steps for all three protocols are the same except UDP and TCP do not require a certificate and certificate authority and TLS does.
(TLS only) Go to System > CAs and configure a certificate authority for the remote logging server. You can use a self-signed CA. Enter the IP address for the remote server in Subject Alternate Names.
(TLS only) Go to System > Certificates and configure a certificate for the remote logging server. Use the CA created for the remote syslog server. Enter the IP address for the remote server in Subject Alternate Names.
Go to System > Advanced and configure the syslog server settings.
a. Select the level of logging in Syslog Level.
b. Enter the IP address for the remote sever in Syslog Server.
c. Select TLS in Syslog Transport or one of the other transport protocols. The system shows the certificate and certificate authority settings after selecting TLS. If selecting UDP or TCL, go to step four.
d. Select the certificate created for the remote syslog server from the Syslog TLS Certificate dropdown list.
e. Select the certificate authority created for the remote syslog server from the Syslog TLS Certificate Authority dropdown list.
