  • Log Forwarding
  • Syslog
Cause
Resolution
1-Configure Syslog forwarding profile.
Device > Server Profiles > Syslog 
User-added image

2-Configure Log Forwarding Profile under Objects and point to Syslog Profile
Objects > Log Forwarding and Add a profile
User-added image

Note by default Service Route is set as default.
Device > Setup > Services > click "Service Route Configuration"
User-added image


3-Assign the Log Forwarding profile to policy rules and network zones.
Policies > Security > Add Log Forwarding to policy.

To verify LPC is working

-Check LPC is up and defect LPC card
7K(active)> show chassis inventory | match LPC                  
7          PA-7000-LPC          001401001198    0      1.0       300   

7K(active)> show chassis status
Slot       Component          Card Status        Config Status   Disabled
1          PA-7000-20G-NPC    Up                 Success
2          PA-7000-20G-NPC    Up                 Success
3          PA-7000-20GQ-NPC   Up                 Success
4          empty
5          empty
6          PA-7080-SMC        Up                 Success
7          PA-7000-LPC        Up                 Success                    <<<

-Check interface is configure for log foward
7K(active)> show interface all | match log    <<show what interface is configure with log fowarding as log-card interface
ethernet1/8       523   0                     logfwd                   0      N/A    

-verify reachable to Syslog server from LPC.
7K(active)> debug log-card-interface ping slot s7 host <ip of syslog>
64 bytes from 10.212.64.149: icmp_seq=1 ttl=253 time=0.381 ms
64 bytes from 10.212.64.149: icmp_seq=2 ttl=253 time=0.127 ms

note:   10.212.64.149 is Splunk Syslog server


-verify LPC is getting log
7K(active)> debug log-card-interface info slot s7 | match packet

packets received                  9122565
packets transmitted               17677565619  <<incrementing


-verify Log is being forward out for interface eth 1/8
7K(active)> debug log-receiver statistics | match syslog

     Type  Enqueue Count     Send Count     Drop Count    Queue Depth     Send Rate(last 1min)

-verify inteface ethernet 1/8 forward traffic

-Additional debug may require PCAP be take on device connected on eth1/8 to see raw syslog packet.
