You can configure a Syslog-based Error Log Publisher using the dsconfig tool. Again, we recommend that you use syslog locally on localhost and use syslog-ng to send the data packets over the UDP protocol.

Because syslog implementations differ by vendor, please review your particular vendor’s syslog configuration.

  • Use dsconfig to create a log publisher of type syslog-based-error. In this example, set the syslog facility to 4 for security/authorization messages.
    $ bin/dsconfig create-log-publisher --publisher-name "syslog-error" \
      --type syslog-based-error --set syslog-facility:4 --set enabled:true
