Good evening, i have configured syslog server so that can get fortigate firewall logs into it , but seems i am not getting separate log file for syslog in rhel , i can able to see them in /var/log/messages, can you help how we can create logs out of syslog and then send this to azure log analytics

[@TejasPatil-fz6bo]

Thanks for the steps. Can you add steps to setup the same for Windows server please?

[@jismymathew1188]

Thank you so much, its really helped me. Any idea how we can automate these steps

[@ThornTechnologies]

You could try using a Terraform and doing something like this: medium.com/@t.costantini89/send-linux-vm-logs-to-an-azure-log-analytics-workspace-using-terraform-and-the-azure-monitor-agent-939d481cc48a

With this can I monitor if some VM are printing something or uploading something to some cloud?

[@ThornTechnologies]

Hello Emmanuel, This video goes over connecting the Azure Monitor Agent to your VM. For monitoring who's uploading to the Cloud or if someone is printing something from the VM, you'd need to find those corresponding logs on the VM and input them in place of the logs we used in our example.

but you should have a subscription to create a workspace

how to do this for an on-prem server?

[@ThornTechnologies]

We're focused on cloud solutions and don't use any on-prem servers. But someone else might be able to comment here and offer suggestions. Good luck!

[@straddlescout1220]

​@@ThornTechnologies I found the solution. You first have to install Azure arc agent on your on-prem server. From here on the steps are exactly the same as show in your video.

[@ThornTechnologies]

@@straddlescout1220 Glad to hear that. If you have any other questions, just let us know.

@@ThornTechnologies Hey bro, how are you? Can I ask for your help? I set up a file server for a company, using Azure file sharing, but the company also wanted a solution for recording logs on this file server, like "employee01 deleted a file.", I saw that it was possible to configure the Azure Monitor to collect this data, can you help me?

[@ThornTechnologies]

@@samyr2243 here's an example for connecting the AMA to Azure Monitor from our Knowledge Base. Just use your own log files and file locations. help.thorntech.com/docs/sftp-gateway-azure-3.0/azure-monitor-agent/
