Checking the Audit Log Using the Syslog Server (Syslog Pane)

You can use the Syslog panel of Remote Web Consoleto configure syslog servers to transfer audit log.

You can also download the syslog information file to the Remote Web Console computer.

NOTE:

For detailed information on the audit log file, see

Downloading the Audit Log File

” on page 101.

If you want to check the audit log of the arrays, you can always transfer the audit log to syslog servers

as you connect the syslog servers to the array SVP through LAN. You can connect up to two syslog

servers. The first one is referred to as the primary syslog server; the second one is referred to as

the secondary syslog server.

NOTE:

UDP is required for transferring the audit log. To transfer the audit log to syslog servers, consider the

characteristics of UDP when you design a network. For detailed information on syslog, refer to the

RFC3164 published by IETF.

The audit log is also stored in the SVP. The audit log that is stored in the SVP has the same format as the

audit log that is transferred to syslog servers. You can download the stored audit log to the XP Remote

Web Console computer as a syslog information file.
For information on reading the audit log for syslog servers, see the HP StorageWorks Audit Log Reference

Guide.
Only the storage administrator can configure syslog servers for transferring audit logs or downloading the

syslog information file. The Audit Log Permission for the storage administrator must be set to Enable. The

Audit Log Administrator Role needs to be set to Modify for the user account of that storage administrator.

If the Audit Log Administrator Role is set to View, the storage administrator can only view the Syslog pane

and cannot perform operations using the Syslog pane.

Figure 67

shows an example of the configuration of syslog servers.
