Synopsis¶

Adds a log forwarder destination to VMware Aria Operations for Logs

Syntax¶

Add-vRLILogForwarder [-server] <String> [-user] <String> [-pass] <String> [-name] <String> [-fqdn] <String>
 [-protocol] <String> [-port] <String> [[-transport] <String>] [-acceptCert] <String> [-sslEnabled] <String>
 [-testConnection] <String> [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Add-vRLILogForwarder cmdlet adds log forwarder destination to VMware Aria Operations for Logs. The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, and -password values:

Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to SDDC Manager
Validates that VMware Aria Operations for Logs has been deployed in VCF-aware mode and retrieves its details
Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to VMware Aria Operations for Logs
Adds a log forwarder destination to VMware Aria Operations for Logs.

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Add-vRLILogForwarder -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -name "SFO to LAX" -fqdn lax-vrli01.lax.rainpole.io -protocol SYSLOG -port 514 -transport TCP -acceptCert false -sslEnabled false -testConnection false

This example adds a log forwarder to VMware Aria Operations for Logs using syslog over TCP 514.

Example 2¶

Add-vRLILogForwarder -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -name "SFO to LAX" -fqdn lax-vrli01.lax.rainpole.io -protocol CFAPI -port 9543 -acceptCert true -sslEnabled true -testConnection true

This example adds a log forwarder destination to VMware Aria Operations for Logs.
