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.
