Log forwarding forwards logs from the edge filer to the portal.
Log forwarding must be enabled to forward audit logs to the portal for services that require logs from the edge filer: The Edge Filer Syslog service, CTERA Insight, and the Varonis service. After the service is defined in the portal you can enable log forwarding for some edge filers and not for others.
To enable forwarding audit logs to the portal:
- In the Configuration view, select Logs > Log Forwarding in the navigation pane.
The Log Forwarding page is displayed.
- Click Enable Log Forwarding.
Log forwarding is enabled.
Note
Log forwarding is disabled by default for all portal services that require log forwarding and must be enabled for every edge filer that has audit logs that you want forwarding to the portal.
