Log forwarding to syslog server from Panorama or Firewall

EndritK — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 06:49:32 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a question for log traffic and forwarding to syslog server.

I have one panorama that managed a firewall pa-5250 and I see log traffic on two devices.

But when I want to forward it to a syslog, I have to forward panorama's log or firewall pa-5250's log ?

Thank's in advance !!

Thank you for the post @EndritK

Either option is possible and has the same result. For me personally, I use both at the same time. I forward logs from Firewall directly to Syslog server for long term archiving purpose (In this case log forwarding is not dependent on Panorama) and at the same time forward logs from Panorama to 3rd party SIEM.

Below is an article describing both options:
