42. Field Notice

For all current Controller software versions (all versions earlier than 7.0.1726), Aviatrix gateways are exporting files to a remote log collection entity. Starting in Controller software version 7.0.1726, instead of exporting files to a remote log collection entity, the Aviatrix Controller and gateways will start streaming the log lines being written to “Syslog” and “Auth.log”.

When you use the default rsyslog server configuration suggested in Aviatrix Documentation, the logs streamed from the Controller and gateways will now have multiple files. Each file will be named with the application that generated the log.

For example: All logs generated by the avx-gw-state-sync application would be re-directed to a file named "avx-gw-state-sync" on the log server.

There will be a change in log format. You must change your syslog collectors and any related automation to accept the new log format.
