Syslog comes in very handy when one wants to log what is happening on vApp Network Edges.
We need a vApp Router or an Edge with firewall and/or NAT rules. You can use one of the recipes from Chapter 2, vCloud Networks for this.
We also need a configured Sysprep server.
Log in to vCloud as
SysAdmin
or into your Organization asOrgAdmin
orvAppauthor
.Navigate to vApp.
Click on Networking.
Right-click on the network and select Configure Services.
Select either Firewall or NAT.
While you are configuring firewall rules, check Log network traffic for firewall rule, as shown in the following screenshot:
Create some traffic that flows through the rule that is being logged.
Check out the logfiles in the Syslog server.
