Configuration Of Ascender¶

Overview¶

Ascender Ledger Pro is designed to parse logs from AWX derivitives, thus each Ascender server must be configured to send its logs to ALP.

Configure Log Export¶

Begin by going to Settings and choose Logging Settings:

Configuration Settings

From here click the Edit button at the bottom:

Edit Configuration

From here you need to make several changes following the numbers below. You won't be able to save the External Logging until the URL is set. So, following the order is important:

Logging Aggregator: http://IPorDomainNameOfALP
Logging Aggregator Port: 5000 by default
Logging Aggregator Type: other or ledger
Logging Aggregator Protocol: HTTPS/HTTP
Logging Addregator Password/Token: Obtain this from Ascender Ledger Pro
Enable/disable HTTPS certificate verification: Off
Enable External Logging: On

The other settings are optional, or can be set to your liking.

Configure Ascender Ledger Pro To Accept Logs¶

If you are using Ascender Ledger Pro 25.0, you have the option to require the the Authentication Token provided by Ascender Ledger Pro. However, if you are using an AWX equivalent, you might want to consider using Ascender Ledger Pro. By default, if you do not require the Ascender Ledger Pro token, Ascender systems will automatically be added and approved for making uploads to Ascender Ledger Pro.
