To add a syslog server, do the following:

1. Go to the ADVANCED > Export Logs page.
2. In the Export Logs section, click Add Export Log Server. The Add Export Log Server window opens. Specify values for the following:
   
   • Name – Type Barracuda XDR Collector as the name for the syslog server.
   • Log Server Type – Select Syslog NG.
   • IP Address or Hostname – Type the IP address or the hostname of the system hosting the XDR Collector.
   • Port – Type port 9256.
   • Connection Type – Select UDP.
   • Validate Server Certificate – Do one of the following:
     • Set to Yes to validate the syslog server certificate using the internal bundle of Certificate Authority's (CAs) certificates packaged with the system. If you choose this option, send the certificate to XDR support so they can do the necessary additional configuration.
     • Set to No to accept any certificate from the syslog server.
   • Client Certificate – Set to Yes so the Barracuda Web Application Firewall presents the certificate while connecting to the syslog server. Send the certificate to XDR support so they can do the necessary additional configuration.

   • Certificate – Select a certificate for the Barracuda Web Application Firewall to present when connecting to the syslog server.

     You can upload certificates on the BASIC > Certificates page. For more information on how to upload a certificate, see How to Add an SSL Certificate.

     
     

   • Log Timestamp and Hostname – Set to Yes.
3. Click Add.
