Cisco logs though Heavy Forwarder

tmardan

Hello!

I'm trying to collect logs from Cisco ASA devices through Heavy Forwarder, I'm sending all Cisco ASA logs to my HF instance and then send them to indexers.

I want to parse these logs and send to indexers only VPN-event logs. How can I filter them?

Can I filter them using event types from Cisco Add-on?

You must update it based on what you want exactly filter out.
And you must do those filtering on HF not Indexers.
