Create a Remote Log Source - Cisco ASA

Topics Discussed

You can use this document to send Cisco Adaptive Secure Appliance (ASA) logs to Armor's Security Information & Event Management (SIEM).

This document only applies to:

• Cisco Adaptive Secure Appliance (ASA) 8.X

• Cisco Adaptive Secure Appliance (ASA) 9.X

Pre-Deployment Considerations

To create a remote Log Relay, you must already have:

• A Log Relay server on your account

  • To learn how to add Log Relay to your account, see Obtain Log Relay for Remote Log Collection

• Configured the system clock

Update your Cisco ASA device

1. Log into your Cisco ASA device.

2. Access the privileged EXEC mode:

   hostname> enable

3. Access the global configuration mode:

   hostname# configure terminal

4. Enable logging:

   hostname(config)# logging enable

5. Configure the global logging settings:

   hostname(config)# logging timestamp hostname(config)# logging trap warning hostname(config)# logging asdm warning hostname(config)# logging device-id hostname

6. Configure logs to be sent to a designated Armor Log Relay device:

   hostname(config)# logging host <interface> <ipaddress> <protocol/port>

7. To ensure that the log messages use the IP address and not the object names, disable the output object name option:

   hostname(config)# no names

8. Exit the configuration:

   hostname(config)# exit

9. Save the changes:

   hostname# write memory

10. Review the logging configuration:
    
    

    hostname# show run all logging logging enable logging timestamp logging hide username logging buffer-size 4096 logging asdm-buffer-size 100 logging buffered warnings logging trap warnings logging asdm warnings logging device-id hostname logging host inside 100.64.0.10 17/5140 logging flash-minimum-free 3076 logging flash-maximum-allocation 1024
