To configure log forwarding from Cisco Nexus, use the system message logging feature available in NX-OS. Follow the official documentation below for step-by-step setup instructions.
When configuring syslog, set the format to RFC 5424 as mentioned here. This ensures that the logs are forwarded in the format required by Scope.
