Infrastructure improvements

Ability to Send Logs to More than One Syslog Server

After enabling a Syslog server in the portal, you can add Syslog servers using the following CLI: portal-syslog-client add_syslog_server <ip> <port> <protocol> [name] [ca_cert] [client_cert] [client_key]

Required Parameters
ip – IP address of the syslog server
port – Port number of the syslog server
protocol – Protocol to use (UDP, TCP/TLS, or TCP/ClientCertAuth)

Optional Parameters
name – Unique identifier for the server (auto-generated if not provided).
ca_cert – CA certificate file (required for TLS).
client_cert – Cient certificate file (required for client authentication).
client_key – Client private key file (required for client authentication).

Notes
  • You cannot add multiple servers with the same IP and port combination.
  • If you add a server with a name that already exists, the existing server will be updated.
  • All certificate files must exist and be readable. All certificates need to be placed under /usr/local/lib/ctera/syslog/logstash/tls
  • The service automatically creates a new logstash pipeline configuration for each server.

Core Infrastructure Upgrades

Key infrastructure components have been upgraded including:

  • The Tomcat server
  • The JDK
  • The Blocks table has been changed to include map files instead of having the map files stored as objects in the storage node.
    Note

    You cannot upgrade the portal while running a storage node migration.

FIPS 140-3 Validation

The portal now supports FIPS 140-3.
