Connect Server Logs to an external monitoring solution
You can forward server logs from XProtect to an external monitoring or logging solution for centralized monitoring and analysis.
By default, log data is processed by VictoriaLogs. You can also configure the OpenTelemetry Collector to forward log data to additional destinations.
For more information, see the OpenTelemetry documentation.
Ports used by the system
The OpenTelemetry Collector uses port 4317 by default. Additional OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) configurations can use port 4318.
These ports are used only for local communication on the Management Server and should be blocked by the firewall to prevent external access.
If you forward log data to an external monitoring or logging solution, ensure that outbound traffic is allowed to any ports required by that solution.
