Can Guardium send remote logging messages to multiple servers?

Question & Answer


Question

I want to use centralized monitoring of IBM Security Guardium, but can Guardium messages be sent to different recipient servers according to a specific criteria?

Answer

Yes. However, you can only use message priority as a criteria to send messages to different server, as the majority of messages issued by the Guardium appliance will be from the daemon message facility.


The standard IBM Guardium severity codes for alerts and violations map as follows:

IBM Guardium SeveritySyslog priority
INFO info
LOW warning
MED err
HIGH alert

The CLI command to configure remote syslog messages is:


store remotelog add non-encrypted|encrypted <facility.priority> <host[:port]> <tcp|udp>
