Set up a Syslog on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

The following steps describe how to configure rsyslog on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 to receive logs from Deep Security.
  1. Log in as root
  2. Execute: vi /etc/rsyslog.conf
  3. Uncomment the following lines near the top of the rsyslog.conf to change them from:
    #module(load="imudp")
    #input(type="imudp" port="514")
    #module(load="imtcp")
    #input(type="imtcp" port="514")
    to
    module(load="imudp")
    input(type="imudp" port="514")
    module(load="imtcp")
    input(type="imtcp" port="514")
  4. Add the following two lines of text to the end of the rsyslog.conf:
    • #Save Deep Security Manager logs to DSM.log
    • Local4.* /var/log/DSM.log
    Note
    Note
    You may need to replace Local4 with another value, depending on your Manager settings.
  5. Save the file and exit
  6. Create the /var/log/DSM.log file by typing touch /var/log/DSM.log
  7. Set the permissions on the DSM log so that syslog can write to it
  8. Save the file and exit
  9. Restart syslog: systemctl restart rsyslog
When Syslog is functioning you will see logs populated in: /var/log/DSM.log
