How to Send Syslogs over a VPN Tunnel between Sites
To send syslogs from one site to another over a gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnel:
1. At Site 1, set up a syslog server that is connected to Gateway 1.
2. Set up a VPN tunnel between Gateway 1 at Site 1 and Gateway 2 at Site 2.
3. Change the remote IP address in the VPN policy on Gateway 1 to the WAN IP address of
Gateway 2.
4. Change the local IP address in the VPN policy on Gateway 2 to the WAN IP address of
Gateway 2.
5. At Site 2, specify that Gateway 2 should send the syslogs to the syslog server at Site 1.
