Creating a Multi-Domain Log Server with Domain Log Servers

This section shows you how to create a new Multi-Domain Log Server and its related Domain Log Servers.

Important: Before you start this procedure, make sure that you define the physical servers as the correct server type (Secondary Multi-Domain Server or Multi-Domain Log Server) during installation. An incorrect definition can cause deployment failure.

To create a new Multi-Domain Log Server:

1. If you did not do so, install a new R80 Multi-Domain Log Server.

   Follow the procedures in the R80 Installation and Upgrade Guide. Make sure to define this server as a Multi-Domain Log Server in the First Time Wizard. Connect to the Multi-Domain Server with SmartConsole and go the Domains view.

2. In the Multi-Domain navigation toolbar, click New > Multi-Domain Log Server.
3. Enter a unique name for this Multi-Domain Log Server.
4. Enter the IPv4 address or click Resolve IP to get the IP address from the DHCP.
5. Select the platform operating system, software version, and hardware type.
6. Click Connect to establish SIC trust.

To create Domain Log Servers:

1. In the SmartConsole Multi-Domain view, right-click the Domain Log Server cell for each Domain in the Multi-Domain Log Server column.
2. Accept the default name or enter a different, unique name.
3. Enter the IPv4 address or click Resolve IP to automatically assign the IPv4 address.
4. Configure the Security Gateways in each Domain to the send its logs to the new Domain Log Server on the Multi-Domain Log Server.

   The Domain Log Servers synchronize automatically.

5. In the SmartConsole Multi-Domain view, click Menu > Install Database.

The new Multi-Domain Log Server automatically synchronizes with all existing Multi-Domain Servers. The synchronization operation can take many minutes to complete, during which a notification indicator shows in the task information area.

Configuring Security Gateways to Send Logs to a Log Server

Logs are not automatically forwarded to a Log Server. You must manually configure each relevant Security Gateway to send its logs to the new Domain Log Server.

To configure Domain gateways to send logs to a Log Server:

1. Connect to the applicable Domain Management Server with SmartConsole, and then double-click the applicable Security Gateway.
2. In the Logs section, select the new Log Server from the list.

   You can delete or ignore other Log Servers in the list as necessary.

3. Click OK.
4. Configure other log settings as applicable.
5. Install Policy on the applicable Security Gateways.
6. Install the database on the Log Servers.

Deleting a Domain Log Server

To delete a Domain Log Server in SmartConsole:

1. Go to SmartConsole > Multi-Domain > Domains.
2. In the Multi-Domain Log Server column, right-click the Domain Log Server and then select Delete.
