Syslog Issue.

[fmd]

Hi - I may have not understood how this is achieved - so apologies before I start!

I'm trying to forward logs for traffic and threat to syslog We have 2x 4050s and Panorama - all policy rules are added via panorama.

I've created a "log forwarding profile" in Panorama that says - forward all traffic and threats to panorama. This is then added to each rule on Panorma. Both the log forwarding profile and the addition to the individual rules are pushed to both the firewalls fine and I get logs on the Panorama.

However, I now want to set the traffic logs to forward to syslog as well. I go into Panorama and under the Panorama tab--->Server profiles-----> syslog.  I've created a syslog entry for my server. Still on Panorama I now go back to the "log forwardinng profile" I've already created and used and try and choose the syslog server I just created - it doesn't show on the drop down list.

NB - if I go onto the FW itself I can create a syslog server and then a log forwarding profile and choose the syslog server fine. I guess I could apply that to local rules for a full test - but I don't have any local rules only rule generated from Panorama (and of course the rules generated from Panorama can't be changed locally).

Am I missing something?

Thanks

It is a bug.

Once you've got the profile for the syslog server entered, do this from the CLI:

set panorama log-settings system critical send-syslog using-syslog-setting SYSLOG-PROFILE-NAME-GOES-HERE
set panorama log-settings system high send-syslog using-syslog-setting SYSLOG-PROFILE-NAME-GOES-HERE
set panorama log-settings system medium send-syslog using-syslog-setting SYSLOG-PROFILE-NAME-GOES-HERE
set panorama log-settings system low send-syslog using-syslog-setting SYSLOG-PROFILE-NAME-GOES-HERE
set panorama log-settings system informational send-syslog using-syslog-setting SYSLOG-PROFILE-NAME-GOES-HERE

I was not able to reproduce the problem.

What Panorama version are you running?

I think you need to reply to farrel.doherty.

I had the same problem with 4.0.3 which was confirmed by an onsite Palo Alto tech at the time.

The solution was to plug in the syslog target via the CLI.

Thanks for all your replies! I'll try the CLI option today. We're currently running version 4.0.5 on both Panorama and the 4050s.

Hi mstingley! Just realised that the CLI options you give aren't quite what I'm looking for. In 4.0.5 I can achieve what you needed to do in the CLI at 4.0.3. My issue is when editing the "Log Forwarding Profile" I can't reference the "syslog server profile" I've created. I can't see a way of doing this via the CLI either!

Anymore advice anyone?
