Syslog Configuration
Syslog is a standard for logging system messages. Logging helps for fault notification, network forensics, and security auditing.
OcNOS supports logging messages to a syslog server in addition to logging to a file or on the VTY terminal (ssh/telnet connection) and on the TTY serial console device. OcNOS messages can be logged to a local syslog server (the system on which OcNOS executes) into /var/log/messages by default as well as to one or multiple remote syslog servers (maximum of 8 remote syslog server is supported). Remote syslog servers can either be configured with IPv4 addresses or host names.
Support for In-band management over default VRF
OcNOS shall stream logs to remote syslog server through the interfaces associated with management VRF by default. Also OcNOS provides configurable option to stream the logs through interfaces associated with default VRF. At any point of time OcNOS shall stream logs through only one VRF.
