How to configure OmniVista OV2500 to point syslog to my SEM?

[Temjinleow87]

Hi Guys,

I am quite new to this NMS product (OV2500) and I trying to search online on the procedure of configuring my NMS to point the syslog to my SEM. Is there any kind soul to assist or share with me the information? Thank you so much. =)

What is SEM?
And from where (switches or OV) would you like to forward what (snmp-traps or syslog) to your SEM?

Hi Silvo,

Thanks for the replied.
SEM like SolarWinds SEM (Security Event Manager) that I trying to put all the OmniSwitches and NMS OV2500 syslog information.
I wondering how can I configure the NMS to point the syslog to my Solarwinds SEM. =)

Your notification from OV you can forward via Network > Notification - Trap Responder. Create with + a new one, choose all your switches, all trap severities (or create a filter) and as respons choos forward traps within the action. But this are snmp traps (port 162) - no syslog (port 514).

The switch-logs you can forward with the following command
> swlog output socket 192.168.10.2 (this are syslog messages)
You need this at all switches. Via OV cli-script you can excecute this at all switches at once.
