Log Forwarding Configuration

Standalone Gateway

Log Forwarding

To forward all your Akeyless audit 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 /home/.akeyless/logand.conf the Gateway docker image.

Shell

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

Syslog

Set the following settings inside your local config file:

YAML

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"
#TLS Optional
target_syslog_enable_tls="true"
target_syslog_tls_certificate="<Based64 PEM encoded Cert>"

👍

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.
