Forwarding Logs from Strata Logging Service in China

Release Date: February 2024 | Last Updated: May 2026

Organizations operating in China face strict data residency and compliance requirements for security logs. To support your legal compliance needs and streamline log management, Strata Logging Service hosted in China now enables forwarding firewall logs stored locally to external destinations for long-term storage, monitoring, and analysis. Log forwarding allows you to export logs to an external destination to support your organization’s legal compliance requirements. Configure Strata Logging Service to forward logs to a syslog server, HTTPS server, email server, or a third-party SIEM in multiple formats. You can also set the type of logs you want to forward and apply filters to specify precisely which logs are forwarded to the destination server. During configuration, be aware that sending logs to servers outside China requires acknowledging that personally identifiable information may leave the country.
