If you installed the OVF for Log Server, the default root password is "nagiosls"

Thanks @eloyd!

@rayc - he is correct, the root password is nagiosls -- let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the quick responses, I have now gained access via ssh.

I have another question re checking if Nagios is receiving logs from my test router,from the ssh command line.

I have set up the Cisco router with the following config;

logging trap debugging
logging source-interface GigabitEthernet0/0
logging host 10.1.50.6
logging host 10.1.50.6 transport udp port 5544

To ensure a constant stream of logs I have set up a SIP messaging debug , I can see the generated logs at the Cisco end. However from the Nagios Log Server dashboard I an only see logs from 127.0.0.1 so far. By reading reading previous posts on this forum I see that there are a few commands that I can run from the server command line to confirm whether the log stream is reaching our Nagios LS. Is there a document that I can follow to assist in this process?

Thanks in advance.

Can you look at /var/log/logstash/logstash.log and see if there is anything happening in there? Your logs from router could be getting dropped if it doesn't like the syslog format they use. If you do a tail -f /var/log/logstash/logstash.log and see that is noisy, let us know and I can provide a fix.

Many thanks for the reply, I found a a filter to fix the Syslog format elsewhere on this site. It is now logging fine.

Awesome, are we good to mark this thread as resolved then?

[rayc]

Yes sorry for the late reply.
