Learn more about creating and configuring syslog profiles in
Prisma SD-WAN
.
Prisma SD-WAN
allows to use the same syslog profile configurations across multiple devices. Create a Syslog Profile from the
Prisma SD-WAN
web interface for forwarding the Log Collector logs as syslog messages to a syslog server. ION device supports syslog RFC 5424 format for all the protocols.
Syslog message format is structured as follows:
  • Syslog message format
    ION_HOST="
    hostname
    " DEVICE_TIME="
    timestamp
    " MSG="pam-session-opened by (uid=0)" SEVERITY="minor" PROCESS_NAME="sshd" FACILITY="authpriv" USER="elem-admin" ELEMENT_ID="
    id
    "
