# Power Systems HMC Remote Logging
|
|
|
|
Instructions for how to forward syslog messages from a IBM Power Systems HMC to a remote logging solution.
|
|
|
|
More information about HMC logging is available on the IBM [knowledge center](https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/hmc-logging-and-auditing).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
Network / Firewall must allow UDP (and possible TCP) traffic on port 514 from HMC to the remote syslog server. We use *10.32.64.1* as our remote syslog server in the example below.
|
|
|
|
To add a remote logging destination, run the following command. Use the filter to discard unwanted messaged.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
chhmc -c syslog -t udp -s add -h 10.32.64.1 --input "filter_msg_contains_discard_strings=run-parts,slice,session,leases,renewal,0anacron,Session,DHCPREQUEST,DHCPACK,CMD,CRON,SCHEDULED"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the above example we filter away some messages that we are not interested in forwarding on remotely.
|
|
|
|
To remove it again:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
chhmc -c syslog -t udp -s remove -h 10.32.64.1
|
|
```
