Sending System Log Messages to ASDM

You can configure the adaptive security appliance to send system log messages to ASDM. The adaptive
security appliance sets aside a buffer area for system log messages waiting to be sent to ASDM and saves
messages in the buffer as they occur. The ASDM log buffer is a different buffer than the internal log
buffer. For information about the internal log buffer, see the
Buffer" section on page
When the ASDM log buffer is full, the adaptive security appliance deletes the oldest system log message
to make room in the buffer for new system log messages. To control the number of system log messages
retained in the ASDM log buffer, you can change the size of the buffer.
