Multi-VDOM Syslog Configuration

Hi,

 

Syslog functionality was operating correctly when a single VDOM was in use. However, after enabling multi-VDOM, the syslog configuration now appears exclusively in the Global VDOM mode, making it applicable only to the Global VDOM.

 

In the root VDOM, where all policies, VPN tunnels, and other configurations are present, it is not possible to configure syslog. Attempts to use the "config log syslogd settings" command in the root VDOM were unsuccessful, as the term "syslogd" is not recognized.

 

We are currently running version 7.4.7v. To forward logs, each VDOM needs to have its own separate syslog configuration.

If I understand your requirement correctly, the following documentation should give you the information you need.
