Datapower Operations Dashboard Internal Error "Found a misconfigured log target, please setup Syslog again for the device"

  • 1.  Datapower Operations Dashboard Internal Error "Found a misconfigured log target, please setup Syslog again for the device"

    Posted Fri July 31, 2020 11:22 AM

    There are a few domains on our appliances where we had to disable log targets due to too much traffic overwhelming the DPOD device. We went into Manage -> Devices -> Gateways then clicked the Gateway & domain. Under the "Setup" tab we clicked Disable.

    However for all of the domains we disabled like that we get this error over and over under internal alerts:

    Found a misconfigured log target, please setup Syslog again for the device

    How do I stop this error from occurring? I did try clicking "Setup syslog for this device" again after the disable but it sets up the log targets in that domain in down/disabled status, where I'd prefer not to have them at all.

    Please raise a question type support ticket, I know of at least one open customer ticket wrt. DPOD and logging.

    I actually just clicked "Setup syslog for this device" after clicking disable and the error stopped happening. The objects are in down/disabled status so that is acceptable. I do think that if you click "Disable" the UI should remind you to click the "Setup syslog for this device" - or perhaps that button should be renamed to "Update syslog for this device".
