Managing log files 261 Exporting data Oracle or to MySQL. SuperUsers and Administrators can configure Symantec Network Security to send copies of its operational log messages to the UNIX syslog facility. To do so, you must configure syslog to receive the operational log data, and enable Symantec Network Security to send data to a syslog server by entering a non-zero value for the Echo Operational Log to Syslog parameter. The value must correspond to syslog priority levels 1-4, inclusive. Note: To export to syslog, syslog must be running in remote mode. This may not necessarily be the default. See the Unix or Linux man pages for more details. Note: SuperUsers and Administrators can export logs; StandardUsers and RestrictedUsers cannot. See "User groups reference" on page 319 for more about permissions. Symantec Network Security can export event data to syslog. Data remains in the proprietary format. Syslog is always considered remote, even if located on the same host. This section includes the following syslog export parameters: ■ Setting Syslog Event Export ■ Setting Echo Operational Log to Syslog ■ Setting Remote Syslog Destination Host ■ Setting Remote Syslog Destination Port ■ Setting Syslog Maximum Message Size Note: To export to syslog, syslog must be running in remote mode. This may not be the default. See the Unix or Linux man pages for more details. Setting Syslog Event Export Syslog Event Export serves as the main on/off switch for sending event data to syslog. If this value is true, then events are sent to syslog. The default value is false. Note that you must also configure the Remote Syslog Destinational Host for this parameter to function. To configure this parameter 1 Click Configuration > Node > Network Security Parameters. 2 In Select Node, choose the node from the pull-down list, and click OK.
