Syslog Servers

To maintain and backup all log data from the X family device, you can configure remote syslog servers for system-related logs (System, Audit, VPN and Firewall Session logs).

For the Firewall Session Log, messages will only be off-loaded for firewall rules that have the Enable syslog logging option turned on.

The contents of the VPN Log can be customized to include messages to troubleshoot problems establishing a VPN tunnel.

Note You can also configure syslog servers for traffic-related event logging (entries in the Alert, IPS Block, and Firewall Block logs). For details, see “Configure the Remote System Log Contact” on page 54.

Configure the Syslog Server Log Contact

STEP 1 From the LSM menu, select System > Configuration > Syslog Servers.

STEP 2 On the Syslog Servers page, select the Enable syslog offload option for each log you want to offload. Then, type the IP address for the remote server.

TIP Be sure that the device can reach the remote system log server on your network. If the server is on a different subnet than the device management port you may have to add static routes (see “Static Routes” on page 159).

For additional information, see the following topics:

•“Logs” on page 98

•“Firewall Session Log” on page 103

•“VPN Log” on page 104

Setup Wizard

The System Setup Wizard allows you to configure system settings from the LSM application. After you set up the X family hardware (see the Quick Start Guide for your device) and navigate to the default address for the LSM, the wizard automatically launches and steps through the configuration process. After the initial configuration, you can re-run the setup wizard if necessary by selecting System > Configuration > Setup Wizard from the LSM menu.
