As we know, there is a menu called "Export as CSV" in LS dashboard which can export collected syslog datas. Can we set the export data function automatically and regularly and to a specified location such as other storage server ?

Export as CSV is a manual option at this time but we can submit a feature request if you'd like.

@cdienger
Yes, We'd like to submit a feature request that how NLS can export log data to Splunk automatically and regularly with self-defined filter.
Besides, where NLS restore the log data ? how long can the data be restored ?
Thanks !

Hi, @hyacinth. cdienger is out of the office this week. I will go ahead and submit a feature request. Please keep in mind that the decision to implement the enhancement is at the sole discretion of our development team.

You can go to the Admin menu, then Snapshots And Maintenance and take a look at the "Delete indexes older than" field. If it's set to 0 then NLS will never delete the old history, otherwise, you can specify the number of days.
I think the data is stored in /usr/local/nagioslogserver/elasticsearch/data, but you should not modify anything manually.

Let me know if you have any other questions so far.

Thanks Kyang,
I have found the location of log data, there are five files 0/1/2/3/4 which stored the data, what's the relationship between them ?

DO NOT interact with these directly, these are lucene shards (not text files) and hold the elasticsearch data.

Log Server has the ability to add an output to the configurations already, go to
Configure -> Global Config -> Click Show Output

There you can add an output block to send to another location, of whatever variety you choose from the following
