Configuring an Output Destination
To optimize syslog message usage for troubleshooting and performance monitoring, we recommend that
you specify one or more locations where syslog messages should be sent, including an internal log
buffer, one or more external syslog servers, ASDM, an SNMP management station, the console port,
specified e-mail addresses, or Telnet and SSH sessions.

Sending Syslog Messages to an External Syslog Server
You can archive messages according to the available disk space on the external syslog server, and
manipulate logging data after it is saved. For example, you could specify actions to be executed when
certain types of syslog messages are logged, extract data from the log and save the records to another
file for reporting, or track statistics using a site-specific script.
To send syslog messages to an external syslog server, perform the following steps:
Choose Configuration > Device Management > Logging > Logging Setup.
Step 1
Check the Enable logging check box to turn on logging for the main adaptive security appliance.
Step 2
Check the Enable logging on the failover standby unit check box to turn on logging for the standby
Step 3
adaptive security appliance, if available.
