XMC automatic syslog configuration

DH1 — Fri, 08 Feb 2019 00:29:14 GMT

I am trying to get XMC to provision our switches with the syslog automatically. I have enabled "Enable Automatic Syslog Configuration" on the Admin tab but I still get the blank log files of

MSM-A: Enabling syslog MSM-A: Added syslog server for :514 MSM-A: Starting to add syslog server

I found the following article explaining how to fix it and I have done that but it still doesn't work.

I actually found these files under

C:\Program Files\Extreme Networks\NetSight\appdata\scripting\overrides

Not the user directory the article says.

Any ideas?

I was able to get it to work by rebooting the server after I made that change and it pushed the Syslog configuration out to all my switches. Now the bad, my server is dual homed and it pushed out the wrong IP address for the Syslog server to all my switches.

I was able to correct this by removing the Local0 configuration it set and adding the correct one with a script.

Just a heads up!

Whats the fix if your XMC was installed via OVA - vm appliance?

Thanks,
