  3. Configure the Syslog connection:
    • Enter the IP Address of the RocketAgent running the Firewall Analyzer App
    • Keep the default port and protocol (UDP 514)

Create a Syslog Rule

The default rule that is included when you first enable Syslog sends all data in all classes to the remote server. We recommend disabling or deleting the default rule and creating rules that send only the data that you want/need to the RocketAgent.

  1. Click the Add button. You should get a window similar to the one shown below

  2. Enter a description for the rule and then click the drop-down menu for Class.

  3. You can further limit the data sent by adding fields via the Add Field button and selecting the field you want to filter by:
    • Click the Add Field button

    • Select the Filed you want to filter by and then fill in the rest of the filter conditions similar to below

  4. You can also set a threshold on the rule so it only triggers after a certain number of matching events occur:
