Sending logs Over RELP

Use the CLI logging utility enable relp to switch between using syslog or rsyslog over RELP. syslog is the default event message transmission protocol for SLX-OS.

1. Navigate to the Global Configuration mode.
   

   SLX # config terminal
   SLX (config)# 

2. Enable or disable logging over RELP.

   • Enable logging over RELP.

     

     SLX (config)# logging utility enable relp  
     SLX (config)#

     When logging over RELP is enabled, logging over SYSLOG is automatically disabled and all event messages are transmitted over RELP.

   • Disable logging over RELP.

     

     SLX (config)# no logging utility enable 
     SLX (config)# 

     When logging over RELP is disabled, logging over SYSLOG is automatically enabled and all event messages are transmitted using SYSLOG.

   • When rsyslog over is RELP is configured as secured with TLS, the certificates that are used for securing SYSLOG are used by rsyslog over RELP.

   • After turning on logging over RELP, and when you use the login credentials of the SYSLOG server, then the same credentials are used for logging over RELP.

   • RELP mode does not support syslog-server host configuration. This configuration is automatically blocked in the RELP mode. An error message is displayed.
