Log Forwarding

Log Forwarding for Akeyless Bastions

Suggest Edits

SSH\Web Access log forwarding enables you to forward SSH\Web Access session recordings to your log servers.

Log forwarding to your bastions can be done for:

SSH Access: Secure Remote Access Bastion

Web Application Access : Web Access Bastion

Syslog

Edit the values.yaml file under the logForwarding section:

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.
