ssh port forwarding requires an additional free TCP port on the local
client system:
You need to choose a free port on this cluster for ssh port forwarding. The
port chosen should be free on all cluster nodes.
Enter the ssh port to be used for port forwarding? []: 1175
The same guidelines for choosing a free syslog-ng TCP port apply to
this port. For details, refer to “Configuring a Log Consolidation
Standalone Server with clog_wizard” on page 192. In this example, the
local port 1775 was used.
For a Serviceguard cluster log forwarding client, the cluster’s syslogs
and package logs can be forwarded to the log consolidation server. For a
standalone system, the wizard asks only about forwarding syslog
messages:
Log files that reside on this cluster can be forwarded to
the consolidator.
Would you like to forward this cluster's syslogs? (y/n)
[y]:
Would you like to forward this cluster's package logs?
(y/n) [y]:
Note that when forwarding a cluster’s package logs, manual
configuration is required on the consolidation server in order to add the
syslog-ng filtering lines to cause these package logs to be consolidated
into their own unique files. See “Manually Configuring Log Forwarding
Clients” on page 222 for details.
After all the questions have been answered, the clog_wizard displays
the following summary screen:
Summary of Log Consolidation Configuration:
You have chosen to configure
clustername
as a Log Consolidation Client.
Logs will be forwarded to the remote consolidation server
clog.usa.xyz.com on port 1776 using the TCP protocol.
The TCP protocol will be used in conjunction with Secure Shell
Port Forwarding using port 1775, for added security.
