# Nutanix

1. Connect to a Controller VM (CVM) in the cluster using SSH.
2. Enter the ncli command to log into the ncli prompt

   nutanix\@cvm$ ncli

   \<ncli>

   Note: "\<ncli>" is the ncli prompt.
3. The remote syslog server is enabled by default, disable it while you configure the settings.

   \<ncli> rsyslog-config set-status enable=false
4. Add a rsyslog server using the command which adds it to the cluster.

   \<ncli> rsyslog-config add-server name=\<remote\_server\_name> ip-address=\<remote\_server\_address> port=\<rsyslog port> network-protocol=udp relp-enabled=false
5. Choose a module to forward log information from and specify the level of information to collect.

   \<ncli> rsyslog-config add-module server-name=\<remote\_server\_name> module-name=\<module\_name> level=\<log\_level>

   Replace \<module\_name> with one of the following:

   a. ACROPOLIS

   b. AUDIT

   c. CASSANDRA

   d. CEREBRO

   e. CURATOR

   f. GENESIS

   g. PRISM

   h. STARGATE

   i. SYSLOG\_MODULE

   j. ZOOKEEPER

Enable module logs at the ERROR level unless you require more information, replace \<log\_level> with one of the following:

a. EMERGENCY

b. ALERT

c. CRITICAL

d. ERROR

e. WARNING

f. NOTICE

g. INFO

h. DEBUG

6\. For e.g.: Once you configure level 6 (it's info), it also covers level 0,1,2,3,4,5 + level 6. For e.g. if you select "INFO" for a module, you don't have to select ALERT for the same module.

7\. Enable the rsyslog server.

\<ncli> rsyslog-config set-status enable=true

8\. Logs should start forwarding to the remote syslog server.

9\. Show the current rsyslog server setting and modules added.

\<ncli> rsyslog-config ls \<ncli> rsyslog-config ls-modules server-name=\<rsyslog\_name>
