Log Server
VMware ESXi 5.0 or later version does not include a service console. Therefore, this model achieves the syslog
reporting by forwarding the logs generated by ESXi to the log server on which NEC ESMPRO Agent is installed.
To use ftSys Management Appliance as the log server, no additional steps are required after following the steps
in Chapter 1 (1.11.2 Installing Additional Packages
– When ftSys Management Appliance is set as the log
server) and Chapter 2 (1.1 NEC ESMPRO Agent)) of this document, because the log server will be
automatically configured and forwarding the logs generated by the ESXi becomes available.
Note To use any other server than ftSys Management Appliance as the log server, you need to
prepare a Linux server separately. See Chapter 3 (1. Steps for Configuring the Separate
Log Server) of this manual for how to configure the Linux server.
