Exporting Syslog Messages
8+
=========================
9+
10+
In this document, we will demonstrate forwarding messages from Deis's syslog server to
11+
another one. This is used in a number of cases:
12+
13+
- there is a legal requirement to consolidate all logs on a single system
14+
- the remote server needs to have a full picture of the cluster's activity to perform
15+
correctly
16+
17+
In our case, you can forward all messages from your Deis cluster to your remote syslog
18+
server by setting two keys in :ref:`Discovery`. SSH into your controller and run the
19+
following commands:
20+
21+
.. code-block:: console
22+
23+
$ etcdctl set /deis/logger/remoteHost <your_remote_syslog_hostname>
24+
$ etcdctl set /deis/logger/remotePort <your_remote_syslog_port>
