Auto Pushing
Settings for pushing rotated log files to another server
Enable auto pushing — When selected, rotated log files are pushed from the local database on the
appliance to the server specified by the following settings
Destination — Network protocol, host name, and path of the server
A variable can be added to the path name to specify the pushing process more precisely.
For example, %h can be added for the host name of the appliance that log files were pushed from.
The destination could then be specified as follows:
ftp://myftp.com/%h
When the log files are pushed, the variable is replaced with the appropriate value, which is a host
name in this example.
The variables you can use here include:
%h – host name of an appliance
%y – current year (four digits)
%m – current month (one or two digits)
%% – for % (if it is to occur in a host name)
User name — Name of the user who is authorized to push log files to the server
Enable pushing log files directly after rotation — When selected, pushing follows rotation
immediately
Push interval — Time (in hours) to elapse before the next log files are pushed (if not pushed
immediately after rotation)
