8600 Syslog Question

[OmegaVTX]

I did search everyone and cannot find the answer to this question.

I have it setup (and running ver. 3.3.3).. but my question is there a way to save it to a specific directory on my SAN?

Where do most of you save the syslog to and what type of box... Windows, Unix, Linux?

Thanks

Syslog is fairly straight forward, on the 8600 you just need something like this:

sys syslog host 1 create
sys syslog host 1 address 192.168.1.100
sys syslog host 1 facility local1
sys syslog host 1 host enable
sys syslog host 1 severity info warning error fatal

Then on the server at the address above you just need to have software running that will collect the syslog events as they flow in. In your case it'll need to be a system that can open and append to a file on your SAN. In my case I use a FreeBSD unix machine but there are decent syslog collectors for Windows as well.

SNMP traps are another good source of information, in my case I use a modified version of the trap collector from net-snmp.org running on the same machine.
