Currently working on the final steps of getting our new equipment configured. The next step was to configure Syslog on all of our Pure Arrays. Another reason to script this task! Easily populate your arrays and server and at the click of a button you can configure all your arrays easily.

Pre-Requsites

• PureStorage Powershell SDK

Link to Script

• Set-PureStorageSyslog.ps1

Preparing to Execute the Script

The script is pretty straight forward, just need to define a few variables seen below and then you execute the script. I will walk you through the process.

Time for more UCS Scripting! This time to configure Syslog. The script is pretty straightforward, but nice to have to easily set up Syslog across multiple UCS domains.

Thank you to everyone who listened to me on the EMEA vBrownbag. Here are copies of documentation and scripts on how to configure ESXi to use the Syslog collector.

Check the ESXi Syslog Collector Configuration Example:

1Foreach ($vmhost in (get-vmhost)){
2$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -vmhost $vmhost
3$esxcli.system.syslog.config.get()}

Setting the ESXi Syslog Collector Example:

1Foreach ($vmhost in (get-vmhost)){
2$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -vmhost $vmhost
3$esxcli.system.syslog.config.set($null, $null, $null, $null,"udp://IPtoSyslogServer:514″)
4$esxcli.system.syslog.reload()}
