Might need a release note about remote syslog
-
Bumped from production to beta today (2.6.0.b.20220101.0600); after a while I noted that I wasn't getting 'firewall' category logs in my SIEM anymore.
Took a look at System Logs / System / General page and it noted a lot of:syslogd sendto: No buffer space available
Went in to System Logs / Settings
changed log message format from default BSD format to syslog format.
Hit save at the bottom, and suddenly logs were working correctly. I'm guessing all I really had to do was hit save; perhaps the format change was needed though.Fortunately the SIEM sees the traffic now - good -
Unfortunately it no longer recognizes it as 'firewall' category of data and now just lumped with general syslog. I'll derp with it. External SIEM is just a testing instance of Security Onion; version 2.3.91 as of today. Clearly not a problem for this forum; this involves the 4 levels of abstraction and auto indicing of elastic and logstash.--
