Seen a few emails flying around the other day about how to add a remote Syslog server to the vCD cell once it has been installed. This has caught out a few people in the past couple of months.
- Follow the documentation and edit the syslog section in /opt/vmware/cloud-director/etc/responses.properties then re-run the configuration.
- Add your Syslog server to the audit.syslog.host line in /opt/vmware/cloud-director/etc/global.properties
- Restart the vCD Cell [service vmware-vcd restart]
This will then configure vCD for using a remote syslog server.
Please note: This is only required if you have an already installed or pre-configured vCD cell. For all fresh installations follow the guidelines in the installation guide.
