remote-address
This command specifies the destination address of log messages or the log itself.
Syntax
remote-address host
Parameters
- host
- Identifies the host name or IP address of the remote server.
Guidelines
- For an SMTP or syslog-based log target, as specified by the type command.
- For a file-based log target with an archive mode, as specified
by the archive-mode command set to
upload.
Use the remote-address command with the remote-port command to define the destination of transmitted log messages.
With TCP-based, network log targets,
instead of specifying the IP address or host name of a remote server,
you can specify the name of a load balancer group. In this situation,
the same load balancer group must be assigned to the default XML
manager in the domain with the XML Manager loadbalancer-group command.
To create a load balancer group, use the Global loadbalancer-group command.
To establish a secure connection to a remote server, use the remote-server and remote-port commands to set the values to that of a local SSL Proxy service on the appliance. The local SSL Proxy service, as defined by the Global sslforwarder command, can then forward log messages over a secure connection to the remote server.
Examples
- Specify the address of an SMTP server. Uses the default TCP port
of 25.
# type smtp # local address 10.10.13.4 # remote-address ragnarok.datapower.com # - Specify the address of a syslog daemon. Uses the default UDP port
of 514.
# type syslog # local address 10.10.13.4 # remote-address 172.16.100.1 # - Specify the recipient address for an uploaded log file.
# type file # archive-mode upload # remote-address 172.16.100.1 #
