Time for more UCS Scripting! This time to configure Syslog. The script is pretty straightforward, but nice to have to easily set up Syslog across multiple UCS domains.

The script is pretty straight forward, just need to define a few variables seen below and then you execute the script. I will walk you through the process.

 6$cred = Get-Credential
 7$domains = "ucs01.lab.local","ucs02.lab.local"
 8$SyslogServer = "syslog.lab.local"
 9$Name = "primary"
10$Facility = "local7"
11$AdminState = "enabled"
12$Severity = "notifications"

14#Cycles through each UCS setting values
15Foreach ($ucs in $domains) {
16  Connect-UCS $ucs -Credential $cred
17  Get-UcsSyslogClient -Name $Name | Set-UcsSyslogClient -AdminState $AdminState -ForwardingFacility $Facility -Hostname $SyslogServer -Severity $Severity -Force
18  Disconnect-UCS

...
  • Run .\Set-UcsSyslog.ps1
