The syslog output is sent to the syslog facility local6 with the following correspondence to syslog
message priorities:
LOG_DEBUG,
//
debug
LOG_INFO,
//
timing
LOG_WARNING,
//
warning
LOG_ERR,
//
error
LOG_CRIT
//
fatal
Note
Make sure that your /etc/syslog.conf has that facility enabled at the proper priority.
Caution
The syslog is much slower than logApp (about 50 messages per second as opposed to 1000 or so). We
recommend that you enable debug severity on one zone at a time.
TCP Reset Not Occurring for a Signature
Note
TCP Resets are not supported over MPLS links or the following tunnels: GRE, IPv4 in IPv4, IPv6 in
IPv4, or IPv4 in IPv6.
If you do not have the event action set to reset, the TCP reset does not occur for a specific signature. To
troubleshoot a reset not occurring for a specific signature, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI.
Step 2
Make sure the event action is set to TCP reset.
