PIX not logging IDS to syslog

Dec 21, 2005 3 Replies

Hi,



I recently set up IDS on my PIX 525, and it appears to be doing what it's able to do... however, the only way I'm able to see any IDS logs is by doing a "show syslog". I have a syslog server setup using kiwi, and I'm able to pick up logs in there, but nothing for IDS. Is there some setting I might be missing thats causing it not to log IDS while it logs other things? Thanks in advance!


logging trap debug

That should do the trick!

Wil my 3¢

And do the trick it did! Thanks very much!

Right now though, it's trapping so much info, I'm wondering if I might need to shut it off soon. I assume logging debug isn't typically done on a continuous basis but more for troubleshooting?

On my 5.3 PIX 515 all IDS messages are sent at Warning level. I have a filter in Kiwi dumping these to a separate file to make it easier to trawl through them. Have you created "alarm" actions as well as drop/reset actions for your IDS audits?
