The Log Settings page allows you to configure log forwarding
to:
- Panorama, SNMP trap receivers, email servers, Syslog servers, and HTTP servers—You can also add or remove tags from a source or destination IP address in a log entry; all log types except System logs and Configuration logs support tagging.
- Logging Service—If you have a Logging Service subscription and have enabled the Logging Service (Device > Setup > Management), then the firewall will send the logs to the Logging Service when you configure log forwarding to Panorama/Logging Service. Panorama will query the Logging Service to access the logs, to display the logs, and to generate reports.
- Azure Security Center—The integration with Azure Security Center is available only for VM-Series firewalls on Azure.
- If you launched the VM-Series firewall from Azure Security Center, a security policy rule with the log forwarding profiles is automatically enabled for you.
- If you launched the VM-Series firewall from the Azure Marketplace or using custom Azure templates, you must manually selectAzure-Security-Center-Integrationto forward System logs, User-ID logs, and HIP Match logs to Azure Security Center and use the Log Forwarding profile for other log types (see Objects > Log Forwarding).The free tier of Security Center is automatically enabled on your Azure subscription.
You can forward the following log types
: System,
Configuration, User-ID, HIP Match, and Correlation logs. To specify
destinations for each log type,
