Log Types: SonicWall

Overview

Sonicwall produces network firewall that include features such as unified threat management (UTM), virtual private networks (VPNs), and anti-spam for email.

Collection

On your sonicwall management interface, go to the Log > Syslog page.

  • The Syslog Facility may be left as the factory default.

  • From the Syslog Format menu list, choose the ‘default’ SonicWall Syslog format.

  • In the Syslog ID field, enter the Syslog ID that you want.

    • A Syslog ID field is included in all generated Syslog messages, prefixed by “id= ". Thus, for the default value, firewall, all Syslog messages include "id=firewall." The ID can be set to a string consisting of 0 to 32 alphanumeric and underscore characters, and is generally set to the hostname of the associated firewall.

  • When you’ve finished setting the Syslog options, click Accept at the top of the page.
