4.1 How to configure input options

Configure the input options to enable Scribbler to listen on the port and for the protocol used by the network devices.

Procedure

1. In the navigation pane, go to Configuration > Syslog Input/Forward.

2. In the Input Settings tab, select the protocols used by the network devices. The options are: • UDP - Specify the port number for UDP syslog messages. • TCP - Specify the port number for TCP syslog messages. • TLS - Specify the port number for TLS syslog messages to securely receiving messaging over encrypted channel.
3. If TLS is chosen, upload the private key and public key certificates along with the private key password. The accepted certificate formats for public key are .crt and .pem, and for private key is .key. TLS is enabled only if all the details such as private key, public key and private key password are correct. Else, though it shows as enabled on the interface, TLS will not be enabled internally. After the upload is complete, certificate details are displayed.
