    example: (change property value accordingly)

     

    ### create new syslog logsink
    POST https://<gateway>:9443/restman/1.0/logSinks

    (basic authentication required)
    Content-Type:application/xml
    body:

    When I created a log sink manually and try to pull from the url. I don't get a list of log sinks.

     

    <l7:Type>NotFound</l7:Type>
    <l7:TimeStamp>2019-02-20T19:23:40.572-05:00</l7:TimeStamp>
    <l7:Link rel="self" uri="Mygatewayurl:9443/restman/1.0/logSinks"/>
    <l7:Detail>HTTP 404 Not Found</l7:Detail>
    </l7:Error>
    it should show the default log sinks as well, but it's 404.

    It doesn't make sense, the url is correct.

    Do you publish the Gateway REST Management Service yet?

    What's the version of your gateway?

    unfortunately, the log sink is not available on gateway 9.2, since gateway 9.3, the restman is enhanced, you may need to upgrade to gateway 9.3 or above.
