Configuring Logging Setup
Step 1 Select Platform > Logging > Syslog > Logging Setup to display the Logging Setup page.
Step 2 Check Enable Logging.
This option enables logging on the security appliance.
Step 3 To enable logging on the failover unit paired with this security appliance, select the Enable logging on
the standby failover unit check box.
Step 4 To enable EMBLEM format, or to send debug messages as part of the syslog messages, select the
corresponding check boxes.
If you enable EMBLEM, you must use the UDP protocol to publish syslog messages. It is not compatible
with TCP.
Step 5 To write the internal buffer data to an FTP server for future processing prior to clearing the buffer, do
the following:
a. Check FTP Server Buffer wrap.
b. Enter the IP address of the FTP server in the IP Address field.
c. Enter the user name of the account used to log into the FTP server in the User Name field.
d. Enter the path in the Path field, relative to the FTP root, where the file should be stored.
e. Enter and confirm the password used to authenticate the user name.
Step 6 To write the internal buffer data to Flash for future processing prior to clearing the buffer, do the
following:
a. Check Flash.
b. Specify the maximum amount of memory to allocate to the storage of internal buffer data.
c. Specify the minimum memory that should remain free on the Flash drive. If this minimum value
cannot be retained while writing out the data from the internal buffer, the messages will be pruned
to meet the space requirements.
Step 7 To specify the maximum queue size maintained on the appliance for viewing by an ASDM client, enter
that value in the Message Queue Size (Messages) field.
