Using a GMS Server for Syslog
GMS can be enabled or disabled only on the Device > Log > Settings page (for enabling and configuring GMS, see SonicWall SonicOS and SonicOSX System Setup).
When using a GMS server for Syslog, the following restrictions apply:
- The Event Profile must be 0.
- The Syslog Facility must be Local Use 0.
- The Syslog Format must be Default.
- The Syslog ID must be firewall.
When firewall is managed using GMS, only the global settings can be configured from GMS. So, if a global setting is changed, it affects all the servers. The settings for an individual server cannot be configured, as GMS does not support those tags. When adding a new Syslog Server, therefore, only the hostname and port can be configured; all other fields contain default values.
When GMS is enabled, the GMS server is added to the Event Profile 0 group in the Syslog Servers table. It cannot be added to any other Profile groups. The events in the GMS group in the Device > Log > Settings page have Profile 0 and cannot be changed. Other events can have a different Profile.
