Configuring the NSM to Send Syslogs

Syslog traffic must be configured to arrive to SecureTrack from the IP and/or host name of the device.

Syslog proxy is supported for specific devices. For more information on syslog proxy support for supported devices, see Configuring Devices to Send Logs.

Only rules that are marked for logging in the device are included in the syslogs.

To define SecureTrack as a syslog server on the NSM:

1. Make sure that the IP address of each Juniper NetScreen device is configured identically on both SecureTrack and on the NSM.

   For JunOS devices, you must configure each device to send syslogs directly to SecureTrack.

2. Log into the NSM.

   • Syslog Server IP: the IP address of the SecureTrack server, remote collector or distribution server that is managing the device

   • Syslog Server Facility: Select local use 7 (local7)

     If you need to use a different facility, you can, in which case you'll also need to configure SecureTrack as described in this tech note.
