Configure SSH Keys for Log Uploads

Configure SSH Keys for Log Uploads

You can configure your SSH key pairs to automatically upload logs to the appliance.

To use your own SSH key pairs:

  1. Access the appliance console using ssh.
  2. Log in using the nsadmin/nsappliance credentials. An nsshell opens.
  3. Enter configure to enter the nsshell configure mode.
  4. Add an entry to the ssh-public-keys list in the CLI configuration:
    add log-upload ssh-public-keys
    added index 0
  5. Set the value of the ssh public key at the index returned from the last command. This requires you to paste the SSH public key:
    set log-upload ssh-public-keys 0 key
    Copy and paste the ssh public key
    Enter one or more lines of input. When done, press Ctrl-D
