Integrating with Synology

Overview

Blumira integrates with Synology network attached storage (NAS) devices to stream logs for centralized visibility and reporting. This integration requires the Blumira sensor Logger Module, which acts as a syslog server.

1. In Blumira, navigate to Settings > Sensors.
2. Click the sensor row to open the details page.
3. In the Overview section, next to Host Details, copy the IP address.
