Adding Syslog Server

Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 allows you to define a syslog server where you can receive Veeam Data Cloud user activity logs.

To add your syslog server, do the following:

  1. Log in to Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 with an administrator account.
  2. In the main menu, click Settings.
  3. In the Settings menu, click System.
  4. On the System page, open the Access tab.
  5. In the Logging section, click Add Syslog Server.

Note

To accept communications from Veeam Data Cloud, you must enable access to your syslog server from the 0.0.0.0 IP address. If you want to restrict access to your syslog server, contact Veeam Customer Support to receive the list of public IP addresses related to your tenant.

  1. In the Server Address field, type the IP address of the syslog server.
  2. In the Port field, type the port for the syslog server requests.
  3. From the Protocol Type drop-down list, select the protocol [over which Veeam Data Cloud will send logs] UDP or TCP.
