Syslog configuration on AIX

This article explains how to send logs from AIX systems to SGBox. It’s not necessary to install a specific agent. The syslog protocol will be used.

Log in to your AIX system
Edit “/etc/syslog.conf ” file

Add the following line
auth.info @SGBoxIP
The auth.info and the IP must be separated by a tab.
Save and exit.

Restart rsyslog deamon to load the new configuration and start to send logs

refresh -s syslogd
