**Log Integration Guide**

**Log Integration procedure:**

To forward logs, make the following configuration.

1. **Login to the Terminal as padmin user on VIOS**
2. **Initiate the OEM set up and installation environment.**

Type the following command:

`oem_setup_env`

1. **Enable Syslog daemon & updating Syslog Config file.**

Activate syslog daemon to write into /var/log/syslog.out files.

In /etc/syslog.conf uncomment the following entry or add if it is not present:

`*.debug /var/log/syslog.out rotate size 100k files 4`

Also add the following lines to the syslog configuration file located in /etc/syslog.conf at the end of the file.

`*.info @10.20.100.161`

`*.alert @10.20.100.161`

`*.notice @10.20.100.161`

`*.debug @10.20.100.161`

`*.err @10.20.100.161`

`*.crit @10.20.100.161`

`*.emerg @10.20.100.161`

**Replace 10.20.100.161 with Log Collector IP of specific branch.**

Save the changes.

Create the log file in case it does not exist:

`touch /var/log/syslog.out`

Restart the syslog daemon.

`refresh -s syslogd`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blusapphire.io/log-forwarding/03_log-forwarding-guide/log-forward/vios/vios-log-integration-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
