Log Forwarding

To forward all your Akeyless logs directly from your Gateway, create a local config file with the relevant configuration for your target logs server as described below.

To start your Gateway with this setting, please mount a local config file directly into /root/.akeyless/logand.conf the Gateway docker image.

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 8200:8200 -p 18888:18888 -p 8080:8080 -v {path-to}/log_forwarding_conf_file:/root/.akeyless/logand.conf -e ADMIN_ACCESS_ID="p-xxxxxxx" -e ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY="<YourAccessKey" --name akeyless-gw  akeyless/base

Alternatively, you can forward your logs using an environment variable: 

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 -p 8200:8200 -p 18888:18888 -p 8080:8080 -e LOG_FORWARDING='enable="true"\ntarget_syslog_tag="ssh-audit-export"\ntarget_log_type="syslog"\ntarget_syslog_network="udp"\ntarget_syslog_host="my-syslog:514"\ntarget_syslog_formatter="text"' -e ADMIN_ACCESS_ID="p-xxxxxxx" -e ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY="<YourAccessKey" --name akeyless-gw  akeyless/base

Syslog

Set the following settings inside your local config file:

enable="true"
target_syslog_tag="ssh-audit-export"
target_log_type="syslog"
target_syslog_network="udp"
target_syslog_host="<host>:<port>"
target_syslog_formatter="[default=text]|cef"

Note:
The outputted message format conforms to Syslog format and assumes the Syslog server doesn’t add its own formatting to the message.

Default format: <date > <time> <host name> <log level> <message>.

The variable target_syslog_formatter controls the format of the outputted message either text or cef - for CEF format.
