SEM adding a Aruba 7000 Switch/WLC

josbot5070

I am trying to add a Aruba 7010 version 8.3.0.6-FIPS 

I used the following Aruba website to get the logging server set up :

https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Instant_83_WebHelp/Content/Instant_UG/Log_servers_monitoring/Syslog_Server.htm

Then I went into SEM and added the Nodes=>Manager Connectors and added Aruba, Aruba 2930 and Aruba 3x to the connectors and started them. 

no joy, 

I changed the facility level on the Aruba to various numbers, still no joy getting the device to show up...

Suggestions?

Hi Josbot,

the facility level set on the switch needs to match the one configured on the connector.

To check if you are receiving data from the switch you can use the checklogs command via CMC:

Also be aware that SEM will not start displaying events in the UI once it has received a single event from a source, there is some kind of threshold that needs to be reached for the node to show up. Maybe set the switch to a more verbose debugging setting for a while.
