Log Management Settings

Configure the following to enable WhatsUp Gold to successfully ingest data from log sources:

Elasticsearch Connection

Use SSL. Enable this option to secure communication between WhatsUp Gold and Elasticsearch using Secure Socket Layer encryption (https).

Log Collection Settings

Log Data Retention. Specify the number of days log data should be retained before WhatsUp Gold begins deletion of older logs.
Database Size Limit. Use the slider control to indicate the maximum percentage of the total storage to be consumed before WhatsUp Gold begins deletion of older logs.

Tip: Total Disk Usage and Available Disk Space refer to the actual storage disk of the first node on which the Elasticsearch database is installed.

Tip: Limit refers to the point at which Elasticsearch will stop accepting more data.

Syslog Server Settings

Enable Syslog server. Select this option to enable the Syslog server in WhatsUp Gold Log Management to allow devices to connect and send Syslog data to Log Management. Please note, this option must be enabled if you want to collect Syslog data from log sources.
Important: If you plan to enable this option, you must first disable the Listen for messages option under the Syslog Settings section of the Passive Monitor Listener dialog which can be accessed by selecting SETTINGS > System Settings > Passive Monitor Listeners.
Syslog Server IPv4 Address. Enter the IPv4 address on which WhatsUp Gold should listen for Syslog messages.
Syslog Server IPv4 Port. Enter the port number on which WhatsUp Gold should listen for Syslog messages.
Syslog Server IPv6 Address. Enter the IPv6 address of your Syslog server if you are collecting IPv6 Syslog data.
Syslog Server IPv6 Port. Enter the port number on which WhatsUp Gold should listen for Syslog messages if you are collecting IPv6 Syslog data.

Please note, clicking Save automatically tests the Elasticsearch connection. If a successful connection cannot be established, the Log Management settings you've configured will not be saved.
