NVIDIA UFM-SDN Appliance User Manual v4.13.1

UFM Events Fluent Streaming (EFS) Plugin

EFS plugin is a self-contained Docker container with REST API support managed by UFM. EFS plugin extracts the UFM events from UFM Syslog and streams them to a remote FluentD destination. It also has the option to duplicate current UFM Syslog messages and forward them to a remote Syslog destination. As a fabric manager, it will be useful to collect the UFM Enterprise events/logs, stream them to the destination endpoint and monitor them.

The following are the ways EFS plugin can be deployed:

  1. On UFM Appliance

  2. On UFM Software

For detailed instructions on how to deploy EFS plugin, refer to UFM Event Stream to FluentBit endpoint (EFS).

The following authentication types are supported:

  • basic (/ufmRest)

  • client (/ufmRestV2)

  • token (/ufmRestV3)

The following REST APIs are supported:

  • PUT /plugin/efs/conf

  • GET /plugin/efs/conf
