Syslog-1 - Syslog server for network devices, appliances, and other syslog sources.

Syslog-1 (Syslog-1.net.nic.edu) is an AD joined Ubuntu Server VM used for syslog aggregation.

Reviewing log files:

  1. Connect to syslog-1.net.nic.edu via SSH with your preferred client. Specify your username as "YourADUserName@NIC.EDU".
    (NOTE: Connecting may take several seconds due to how AD group enumeration/caching works in SSSD)
     
  2. After you are connected, change directories to "/logs". ("cd /logs")
     
  3. Subdirectories of "/logs" are numbered by months of the year. Uploaded Image (Thumbnail)
     
  4. Subdirectories of "/logs/<month>" are numbered as days of the month.
