Configure system logging on your Palo Alto Networks devices
To configure your Palo Alto Networks devices to capture event fields and send security-related log information over TCP or UDP to a server running a syslog server, complete the following tasks:
- Create a syslog server profile. Use the port number to point your Palo Alto Networks deployment to the port that is listening on the syslog server. The default port number is 514.
- Apply syslog profile to relevant data types.
- Verify that your syslog server is able to connect to your Palo Alto Networks device.
- Configure your Palo Alto Networks device to use syslog server profile for log forwarding rules.
- Confirm that your Palo Alto Networks device is able to reach the syslog server using the assigned port number.
