Configuring Logging Policies
This chapter contains the following topics:
• Logging on Cisco IOS Routers, page 62-1
• Syslog Logging Setup Policy Page, page 62-7
• Syslog Servers Policy Page, page 62-10
• NetFlow Policy Page, page 62-12
Logging on Cisco IOS Routers
Security Manager provides the following policies for configuring logging on a Cisco IOS router:
• Syslog Logging Setup—Enable the syslog-logging feature, and define basic logging parameters. For
more information, see Defining Syslog Logging Setup Parameters, page 62-1.
• Syslog Servers—Define the remote servers to which syslog messages are sent. For more
information, see Defining Syslog Servers, page 62-3.
• NetFlow—Enable NetFlow logging by providing parameters and interfaces. See Defining NetFlow
Parameters, page 62-6 for more information.
Note We strongly recommend configuring a Network Time Protocol (NTP) policy on all routers on which
logging is enabled. NTP synchronization provides accurate timestamps for syslog messages, which is
essential for comparing logs on multiple devices.
Defining Syslog Logging Setup Parameters
This procedure describes enabling syslog logging on the router, and defining which messages are sent
to a syslog server. In addition, you can optionally define:
• The source interface for all syslog messages sent from this device.
• The messages that are saved to a local buffer.
• An origin identifier added to each message.
• A rate limit on the number of messages that can be sent.
