Installing and configuring the NSLOG server
During installation, the NSLOG server executable file (auditserver) is installed along with other files. The auditserver executable file includes options for performing several actions on the NSLOG server, including running and stopping the NSLOG server. In addition, you use the auditserver executable to configure the NSLOG server with the IP addresses of the NetScaler appliances from which the NSLOG server will start collecting logs. Configuration settings are applied in the NSLOG server configuration file (auditlog.conf).
Then, you start the NSLOG server by executing the auditserver executable. The NSLOG server configuration is based on the settings in the configuration file. You can further customize logging on the NSLOG server system by making additional modifications to the NSLOG server configuration file (auditlog.conf).
Attention:
The version of the NSLOG server package must be the same as that of the NetScaler. For example, if the version of the NetScaler is 10.1 Build 125.9, the NSLOG server must also be of the same version.
The following table lists the operating systems on which the NSLOG server is supported.
Operating system | Software requirements | Remarks |
---|---|---|
Windows | Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000/NT, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 | |
Linux | RedHat Linux 4 or later, SUSE Linux Enterprise 9.3 or later | |
FreeBSD | FreeBSD 6.3 or later | For NetScaler 10.5, use only FreeBSD 8.4. |
Mac OS | Mac OS 8.6 or later | Not supported on NetScaler 10.1 and later releases. |
The minimum hardware specifications for the platform running the NSLOG server are as follows:
- Processor- Intel x86 ~501 megahertz (MHz)
- RAM - 512 megabytes (MB)
- Controller - SCSI
Installing NSLOG server on the Linux operating system
Log on to the Linux system as an administrator. Use the following procedure to install the NSLOG server executable files on the system.
To install the NSLOG server package on a Linux operating system

(for example,/var/auditserver/samples
)
-
-
At a command prompt, type the following command to verify that the package is installed:
pkg_info | grep NSaudserver
To uninstall the NSLOG server package on a FreeBSD operating system
At a command prompt, type:
pkg_delete NSaudserver
Installing NSLOG Server Files on the Windows Operating System
Before you can install the NSLOG server, you have to copy the NSLOG package from the NetScaler product CD or download it from www.citrix.com. The NSLOG package has the following name format AuditServer _<release number>-<build number>.zip
(for example, AuditServer_9.3-51.5.zip
). This package contains NSLOG installation packages for all supported platforms.
To download NSLOG package from www.Citrix.com

- In the menu bar, click Log In.
- Enter your login credentials, and then click Log In.
- In the menu bar, click Downloads.
- Search to find the page that provides the appropriate release number and build.
- On that page, under Audit Servers, click Download to download the NSLOG package, having the format
AuditServer_<release number>-<build number>.zip
, to your local system (for example,AuditServer_9.3-51.5.zip
).
To install NSLOG server on a Windows operating system
-

file (for example,audserver_win-9.3-51.5.zip
). -
The following directories are extracted:
-
<root directory extracted from the Windows NSLOG server package zip file>\bin
(for example,C:\audserver_win-9.3-51.5\bin
) -
<root directory extracted from the Windows NSLOG server package zip file>\etc
(for example,C:\audserver_win-9.3-51.5\etc
) -
<root directory extracted from the Windows NSLOG server package zip file>\samples
(for example,C:\audserver_win-9.3-51.5\samples
)
-
-
At a command prompt, run the following command from the
<root directory extracted from the Windows NSLOG server package zip file>\bin path
audserver -install -f <directorypath>\auditlog.conf
<directorypath>
: Specifies the path to the configuration file (auditlog.conf
). By default,log.conf
is under\<root directory extracted from Windows NSLOG server package zip file\>\samples
directory. But you can copy auditlog.conf to your desired directory.
To uninstall the NSLOG server on a Windows operating system
At a command prompt, run the following from the <root directory extracted from Windows NSLOG server package zip file>\bin
path:
audserver -remove
NSLOG Server Command Options
For information about NSLOG server commands, see Audit Server Options.
Run the audserver command from the directory in which the audit server executable is present:
- On Windows:
\ns\bin
- On Solaris and Linux:
\usr\local\netscaler\bin
The audit server configuration files are present in the following directories:
- On Windows:
\ns\etc
- On Linux:
\usr\local\netscaler\etc
The audit server executable is started as ./auditserver
in Linux and FreeBSD.
Adding the NetScaler Appliance IP Addresses on the NSLOG Server
In the configuration file (
auditlog.conf
), add the IP addresses of the NetScaler appliances whose events must be logged.
To add the IP addresses of the NetScaler appliance
At a command prompt, type the following command:
audserver -addns -f <directorypath\>\auditlog.conf
<directorypath>
: Specifies the path to the configuration file (auditlog.conf).
You are prompted to enter the information for the following parameters:
NSIP: Specifies the IP address of the NetScaler appliance, for example, 10.102.29.1.
Userid: Specifies the user name, for example, nsroot.
Password: Specifies the password, for example, nsroot.
If you add multiple NetScaler IP addresses (NSIP), and later you do not want to log all of the NetScaler appliance event details, you can delete the NSIPs manually by removing the NSIP statement at the end of the auditlog.conf file. For a high availability (HA) setup, you must add both primary and secondary NetScaler IP addresses to auditlog.conf by using the audserver command. Before adding the IP address, make sure the user name and password exist on the system.
Verifying the NSLOG Server Configuration File
Check the configuration file (audit log.conf
) for syntax correctness to enable logging to start and function correctly.
To verify configuration, at a command prompt, type the following command:
audserver -verify -f <directorypath>\auditlog.conf
<directorypath>: Specifies the path to the configuration file (audit log.conf)
.
