List node syslog exporters


Returns the collection of registered syslog exporter rules, if any. The
rules specify the collector IP address and port, and the protocol to use.
GET /api/v1/node/services/syslog/exporters
GET /api/v1/transport-nodes/<transport-node-id>/node/services/syslog/exporters
GET /api/v1/cluster/<cluster-node-id>/node/services/syslog/exporters

Verify node syslog exporter


Collect iptables rules needed for all existing syslog exporters and verify
if the existing iptables rules are the same. If not, remove the stale rules
and add the new rules to make sure all exporters work properly.
POST /api/v1/node/services/syslog/exporters?action=verify
POST /api/v1/transport-nodes/<transport-node-id>/node/services/syslog/exporters?action=verify
POST /api/v1/cluster/<cluster-node-id>/node/services/syslog/exporters?action=verify

Add node syslog exporter


Adds a rule for exporting syslog information to a specified server. The
required parameters are the rule name (exporter_name); severity level
(emerg, alert, crit, and so on); transmission protocol (TCP or UDP); and
server IP address or hostname. The optional parameters are the syslog port
number, which can be 1 through 65,535 (514, by default); facility level to
use when logging messages to syslog (kern, user, mail, and so on); and
message IDs (msgids), which identify the types of messages to export.
POST /api/v1/node/services/syslog/exporters
POST /api/v1/transport-nodes/<transport-node-id>/node/services/syslog/exporters
POST /api/v1/cluster/<cluster-node-id>/node/services/syslog/exporters
