Answer

  • If one controller fails or goes offline, syslog event is always sent by the controller that remains online.
  • If both controllers are online, the sender depends on the log type:
    • syslog for alerts: The controller that sends an alert event varies depending on the timing. For example, a drive failure alert can be sent by either Controller A or Controller B, with no preferred controller.
    • syslog for audit logs: The controller that sends the syslog event is determined by the management IP address used to initiate the operation. For example,
      • Audit logs generated by operations performed via Controller A's management IP (10.128.227.51 as shown in the screenshot below) are sent from Controller A to the syslog server.
      • Audit logs generated by operations performed via Controller B's management IP (10.128.227.52 as shown in the screenshot below) are sent from Controller  B to the syslog server.
