Enabling Secure Logging
To enable secure logging, perform the following steps:
Including the Device ID in Non-EMBLEM Format Syslog Messages
To include the device ID in non-EMBLEM format syslog messages, perform the following steps:
Path Purpose
Configuration > Device Management > Logging >
Logging Filters
Overrides the configuration in the specified output destination
command. For example, if you specify that messages at
severity level 7 should go to the internal log buffer and that ha
class messages at severity level 3 should go to the internal log
buffer, then the latter configuration takes precedence. To
specify that a class should go to more than one destination,
choose a different filtering option for each output destination.
Path Purpose
Configuration > Device Management > Logging > Syslog
Server
Enables secure logging.
Path Purpose
Configuration > Device Management > Logging > Syslog
Setup > Advanced
Configures the adaptive security appliance to include a device
ID in non-EMBLEM-format syslog messages. You can
specify only one type of device ID for syslog messages. If you
enable the logging device ID for the admin context in multiple
context mode, messages that originate in the system execution
space use a device ID of system, and messages that originate
in the admin context use the name of the admin context as the
device ID.
Note If enabled, the device ID does not appear in
EMBLEM-formatted syslog messages nor in SNMP
traps.
