Ontap Simulator syslog server config

[thorn crag]

I have a customer who has a requirement to have all logs from all hosts forwarded to a syslog server. Is this possible for Sims?
if not, he needs to generate an exception on his side for his Ontap Sims

[paper raven]

sure, configuring syslog works exactly the same on the simulator as on a "physical" ONTAP system

And it will not send asup to Netapp. I am pretty sure it’s hard coded and turned off by default in the sims

yeah spoke to customer this morning he is saying he cant get it to work. No online docs and support they dont support the sim.

It is possible the sim has purposefully disable external logging in general.

[thorn crag]

not sure its plausible

log forwarding and syslog configuration are the keys to this.

"cluster log-forwarding" will only give you command history aka audit log. Event logs can be forwarded with this:

This. As far as ASUPs it can work but it is a pain to get working.
