 By default, ESET Remote Administrator Server logging is completed routinely. This data is normally saved as a text file to the following location:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application data\Eset\ESET Remote Administrator\Server\logs\era.log
 

Additionally, ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) allows administrators to send ERA server log data to a syslog server. To enable this functionality, follow the steps below:

  1. Open the ESET Remote Administrator Console (ERAC) by double-clicking the ERAC icon on your Desktop, or by clicking Start → All Programs → ESET →  ESET Remote Administrator Console → ESET Remote Administrator Console.
     
  2. In the main program window, click Tools → Server Options.
     
  3. Click the Logging tab and click the check box next to Log to syslog.

    NOTE:

    In the Action Editor window you can select the Also Log message option, which will write the message body to the log. You can also specify Log Verbosity, which allows you to adjust the level of detail (Level 5 being the highest amount of detail, and Level 1 the lowest). Level 2 – Above + Session Errors is the recommended option.

  4. Click OK to confirm the changes.

NOTE:

To edit advanced syslog settings, click to Tools → Server Options. Click the Advanced tab → Edit Advanced Settings  and expand ESET Remote Administrator → ERA Server → Setup → Logging in the ESET Configuration Editor. Here, you can edit the options for the syslog server name, syslog server port, syslog facility and the syslog verbosity (see Figure 1-2).
