In this example we forward all of the data. In this command you add the destination(s) established in the previous step to the event route. You can forward all of the data from the cluster or you can forward a select set of data. Specify exactly what you want to forward.On the command line, set up the destination for the event as follows, where is the IP address or DNS name of the receiving host:Įvent destination create -name int_fwd -syslog.Add a rule to the created filter in order to forward events.Įvent filter rule add -filter-name -type include -position -severity.View event destinations event notification destination show.Forward syslogs using filters event notification create -filter-name -destinations.Create filter event filter create -filter-name.On the command line, set up the destination for the event, where is the IP address or DNS name of the receiving host:Įvent notification destination create -name -syslog.You can forward to multiple forwarders, but you must specify a name for each one. Once this is done you can forward the syslog event. First create a destination to where you will send the event. See the complete list of "Commands for managing events" in the NetApp online support documentation.Ĭonfiguring syslog in cluster mode is a two step process. You can use specific Data ONTAP commands in the event family for managing these events. In cluster mode there are many types of events, one of which is a syslog event. Wrfile -a /etc/nf *.* syslog forwarding on Cluster mode To configure forwarding, on the command line enter the following, where forwarder is the IP address or DNS name of the receiving host:.Log in to the NetApp filer with the correct permissions.In both 7-mode and in cluster mode, syslog is forwarded from your NetApp storage systems to Splunk by default on UDP port 514. A light forwarder (LF) or universal forwarder (UF) do not parse events to get a timestamp.Īs a NetApp administrator, use NTP on your filers to check that the timezone settings on your ONTAP servers match the timezone information on your Splunk indexer(s).Ĭonfigure your NetApp environment to send syslog data to Splunk If the timezone information is not set correctly, your Splunk platform may incorrectly apply a timestamp and potentially exclude events from indexing. This is specifically true in the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP for performance searches that use report acceleration. In your Splunk platform, time offsets can cause indexing issues with defined data types. forwardedindex.3.whitelist = _internalĮnsure that the clock and timezone settings for your Splunk platform environment and your ONTAP servers agree so as to ensure accurate timestamping. Edit the SA-Hydra/local/nf file to uncomment the following lines:.Copy the nf file from SA-Hydra/default/ move it to SA-Hydra/local/.Navigate to the SA-Hydra directory, and create a local directory.The collected data counts against your Splunk license. Turning on logging on the data collection node when you create the node assists in troubleshooting data collection issues.

Read the topic "Get data from TCP and UDP ports" in the Getting Data In manual for more information. The forwarder must have network access to the storage device and be configured to listen on UDP port 514. Log forwarding is done on the command line in your NetApp environment to forward to a Splunk forwarder. Configure system log forwarding from NetApp to Splunk separately for your 7-mode and cluster mode filers. System log (syslog) management is important for troubleshooting performance problems across your network. Check that the forwarder receiving syslog is configured to send the data to the same indexers as the data collection node. If you currently collect syslog data from the NetApp filers using a Splunk forwarder, you can continue to use the setup you have in your environment. Splunk_TA_ontap is installed on the machine receiving syslog.The sourcetype is set to ontap:syslog in the nf file.In all cases, follow standard Splunk practices to configure Splunk to receive syslog data. You can also use a dedicated forwarder or use the indexer that is connected to the data collection node as the collection point. In very large environments, if you see a degradation in performance of your data collection node you can manually split the collection of your syslog data across multiple data collection nodes. Uncomment this stanza in the local version of nf.
