Advanced Networking Servicessupports the ability to collect information about traffic coming to and from edge gateways through the use of a syslog server.

Collecting log data is a multi-step process:

■

Enable logging for the features for which you need log data. Each feature documented in this programmer's guide includes elements to enable logging. See the schema reference topics per feature.

■

Configure a syslog server to receive the log data.

Prerequisites
1

Log in to vCloud Air as an administrator. See Log in to vCloud Air for information.

2

Create a login session with vCloud Director. See Create a Session for a Virtual Data Center in a Service for information.

3

Using the vCloud API, query vCloud Director for the ID of the edge gateway you require routing configuration details about. See Querying the vCloud API for information.

4

The syslog server should be connected to a network that is accessible to the edge gateway. You can configure the syslog server to be within the vCloud Air environment on a Routed Organization network. Alternatively, you can host the syslog server on-premises and make it accessible to the vCloud Air environment through an encrypted tunnel.

Procedure
1

To configure the syslog server, perform the following steps:

a

Submit a PUT request using the following request header:

PUT https://vchs.vmware.com/hybridity/api/gateways/gatewayId/syslog/config

In the request header, include the OATH token and the Accept header that you obtained when creating a login session: 

Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
X-Vcloud-Authorization: vcloud-auth-token
b

Include the following elements in the request body: 

{
"type": "object",
"version" : "number",
"enabled" : true|false,
"serverAddresses" : [ {
      "ipAddress" : "string",
    }, ]
}

Where ipAddress is an array.

2

To list the current syslog server configuration, submit a GET request using the following request header:

GET https://vchs.vmware.com/hybridity/api/gateways/gatewayId/syslog/config

3

To delete the current syslog server configuration, submit a DELETE request using the following request header:

DELETE https://vchs.vmware.com/hybridity/api/gateways/gatewayId/syslog/config
