After you have created an audit message action, you must bind it to a rewrite or

or responder policy, see the "Rewrite" or the "Responder" chapter of the Citrix
NetScaler Application Security Guide. For a link to the guide, see the

During installation, the NSLOG server executable file (auditserver) is installed along
with other files. The auditserver executable file includes options for performing several
actions on the NSLOG server, including running and stopping the NSLOG server. In
addition, you use the auditserver executable to configure the NSLOG server with the IP
addresses of the NetScaler appliances from which the NSLOG server will start collecting
logs. Configuration settings are applied in the NSLOG server configuration file
(auditlog.conf).

Then, you start the NSLOG server by executing the auditserver executable. The NSLOG
server configuration is based on the settings in the configuration file. You can further
customize logging on the NSLOG server system by making additional modifications to
the NSLOG server configuration file (auditlog.conf).

The following table lists the operating systems on which the NSLOG server is supported.
