SonicOS 7.X

  1. In the SonicWall management interface, go to Device > Log > Syslog.

  2. Click the syslog Servers tab.

  3. Click Add. The Add Syslog Server dialog appears.

  4. Keep the Event Profile value as 0 (1 group).

  5. Select the Syslog server name or IP address from the Name or IP Address drop-down menu. Messages from the firewall are then sent to this server. This IP address must be the private IP address of your on-premise collector.

  6. Type the port 5514 in the Port field. Not the default 514.

  7. Keep all remaining settings as they are and click Add.

That's it! 🎉 Now get in touch, so we can confirm your firewall is logging to our platform!
