Chapter 52 Configuring Logging Policies on Firewall Devices
Configuring Syslog Server Setup
Enable Timestamp on Each
Syslog Message
Whether to include the date and time a message was generated in syslog
messages. The default is to not include time stamps.
Enable Syslog Device ID Whether to configure a device ID in non-EMBLEM-format syslog
messages. If you select this option, select one of the following to use as
the device ID, which is place at the start of all syslog messages:
Note For an ASA cluster, each unit in the cluster generates its own
syslog messages. You can configure logging so that each unit
uses either the same or a different device ID in the syslog
message header field. For example, the hostname configuration
is replicated and shared by all units in the cluster. If you
configure logging to use the hostname as the device ID, syslog
messages generated by all units look as if they come from a
single unit. If you configure logging to use the local-unit name
that is assigned in the cluster bootstrap configuration as the
device ID (Cluster ID option), syslog messages look as if they
come from different units. You can also specify whether or not
the interface IP address of the cluster Master should be used for
all cluster devices.
• Interface—The IP address of the selected interface. Enter the name
of the interface or click Select to select it from a list (or to select
an interface role that specifies the interface). Messages include the
IP address of the interface specified, regardless of which interface
the adaptive security appliance uses to send the log data to the
external server.
If you select an interface role, that role must map to a single
interface on the device.
For ASA clusters, to specify that the interface IP address of the
cluster Master should be used for all cluster devices, select the
corresponding option under the Interface Name field.
• User Defined ID—A text string you define as the device ID. This
string can be up to 16 characters, but cannot contain any of the
following special characters:
& ’ " < > ?
• Host Name—The hostname of the security appliance.
• Cluster ID—Use the unique name in the boot configuration of an
individual ASA unit in the cluster as the device ID.
