Synchronize Syslog Server Settings for an Edge Gateway or vApp Network
When you change the IP addresses of the primary or secondary syslog server for a cloud, you must also
synchronize the syslog server settings for each Edge Gateway or vApp network that includes a
FirewallService for which logging is enabled.
If a system administrator changes the SyslogServerSettings for a cloud, all Edge Gateways and vApp
networks that are configured with a firewall service whose EnableLogging element has a value of true must
be synchronized with the new syslog server settings so that logging can continue without interruption.
Prerequisites
n
To synchronize syslog server settings for an Edge Gateway, you must be an organization administrator
or system administrator.
n
To synchronize syslog server settings for a vApp network, you must be the vApp owner.
Procedure
1 Retrieve the XML representation of the vApp network or Edge Gateway.
2 Examine the response to locate the Link element that contains the URL for the
syncSyslogServerSettings action.
This element has a rel attribute value of syncSyslogSettings and a type attribute value of
application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.task+xml, as shown in this excerpt:
<Link
rel="syncSyslogSettings"
type="application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.task+xml"
href="https://vcloud.example.com/api/admin/edgeGateway/2000/action/syncSyslogServerSettings"
