Configuring syslog protocol by using protocol extensions

The following steps add an user SYSLOG protocol to the Citrix ADC appliance.

Import the extension file to the Citrix ADC appliance, from either a web server (using HTTP) or your local workstation. For details about importing the extension file, see Importing Extensions.

import ns extension local:syslog_parser.lua syslog_parser_code

Add a new user TCP-based protocol to the system by using the extension.

add user protocol USER_SYSLOG -transport TCP -extension syslog_parser_code

Add a service of type USER_TCP to indicate that this is a user-defined protocol.

add service s1 10.102.90.112 USER_TCP 80

Add a user load balancing vserver and bind backend services to it.

add lb vs mysv USER_TCP

bind lb vs mysv s1
<!--NeedCopy-->

Add a user virtual server for the newly added protocol and make the load balancing virtual server configured in the previous step the default load balancer.

add user vs v_syslog USER_SYSLOG 10.217.24.28 80 -defaultlb mysv
