|
|
Any log collection system that supports syslog-style log streams is supported (e.g., Logstash and Splunk).
Enabling log forwarding
{% if enterpriseServerVersions contains currentVersion %}
- On the {% data variables.enterprise.management_console %} settings page, in the left sidebar, click Monitoring.
- Select Enable log forwarding.
- In the Server address field, type the address of the server to which you want to forward logs. You can specify multiple addresses in a comma-separated list.
- In the Protocol drop-down menu, select the protocol to use to communicate with the log server. The protocol will apply to all specified log destinations.
- Select Enable TLS.
- Click Choose File and choose a CA certificate to encrypt communication between syslog endpoints. The entire certificate chain will be validated, and must terminate in a root certificate. For more information, see TLS options in the syslog-ng documentation. {% elsif currentVersion == "github-ae@latest" %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.settings-tab %}
- Under {% octicon "gear" aria-label="The Settings gear" %} Settings, click Log forwarding.
- Under "Log forwarding", select Enable log forwarding.
- Under "Server address", enter the address of the server you want to forward logs to.
- Use the "Protocol" drop-down menu, and select a protocol.
- Optionally, to enable TLS encrypted communication between syslog endpoints, select Enable TLS.
