Prism Central can forward logs to an external syslog server, enhancing the monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities for administrators. The two log modules capable of forwarding messages are:
* API Audit
* The API Audit log module captures and forwards logs related to API access and actions within the Nutanix environment. This is crucial for security and audit purposes, allowing administrators to track API usage and detect any unauthorized or suspicious activities.
* Flow
* The Flow log module deals with network monitoring and security within the Nutanix environment. It captures and forwards logs related to network traffic, flow policies, and security events, helping administrators to monitor network activities and enforce security policies
* effectively.
These modules can be configured in Prism Central to ensure that relevant log data is sent to external syslog servers for centralized logging and analysis.
