Security Gateway not showing any logs

jyrbn — Thu, 16 May 2024 13:13:27 GMT

Hi,

Our network currently has a 6400 appliance as a SG and a Smart-1 appliance as the SMS, when going to Logs & Monitoring, we only see logs with an origin coming from the SMS from either CloudGuard IaaS or System Monitor blades. (See image for reference.)

We tried changing the Logs settings of the GW to save logs locally on the gateway AND send logs to the SMS after this, but the results are still the same.

Any ideas what might be causing this issue?

Here are some details of our GW:

Version: R81 Jumbo Hotfix Take 87
Gaia Kernel Version: 3.10
Model : 6400

Thanks.

Apart from what Guenther gave, also check below.

Personally, I would try this old school trick to try make it work, never let me down. Create new CP host (actual host that lets you enable blades, NOT regular host), ONLY enable logging and save it, no need to push policy yet, then go to logging tab of the fw, add that host there, push policy, test.

If it works, delete new host from log tab of the fw, make sure its set to send to regular mgmt, push policy. New cp host can stay there, as it would be pretty much useless at that point, since it would not be used for anything and you could not even install database to it either.

Let us know if that works.

Best,

Andy

Hi Andy,

Didn't get a chance to try the suggestions above yet, will update once we get the chance.

Thanks!
