Storage Manager Data Collector.
Sending Storage Center Logs to Storage Manager
To view Storage Center logs in Storage Manager, the Storage Center must be congured to send logs to the Storage Manager Data
Collector. You can also congure the Storage Center to send logs to one or more syslog servers.
When a Storage Center is congured to send logs to the Data Collector, Storage Manager overwrites the syslog server settings for
the Storage Center. If you want to send the logs to the Data Collector and one or more syslog servers, congure the Data Collector
to forward the log messages to the appropriate servers.
