  • 1.  Where is syslog destination configured for NSX Edge firewall?

    Posted Nov 17, 2017 08:05 PM

    Logging is working fine for the main firewall in NSX - Network and Security Firewall.

    But if I create a security rule in NSX Edge/Edge 30/Manage/Firewall - Action ACCEPT and LOG..

    This does not appear to be getting recorded to syslog. Where is this configured? And is there a

    place where you can view these allows/rejects on NSX itself? And is there any way to view

    traffic flows to a VIP? When I go to Flow Monitoring I see the option to select a vmnic for a VM

    but not to choose a VIP. Is there some way to see this traffic at the LB VIP? I am trying to

    troubleshoot and issue with a partner and I'm driving blind at this point.

    Not working:

    Found it. NM.

    nsx edge/{nsx edge object}/Settings

    In details modify syslog with the Change button. Only two destinations are allowed and port appears not configurable.
