R82 viewing Syslog on SMS

[CaseyB]

Hey CheckMates,

Recently enabled this feature from Gaia running R82.

It seems like this could be beneficial for troubleshooting; however, there does not seem to be a good way to view these logs within the SMS once it is enabled. I cycled through a good number of the predefined profiles and did some searching and could not find a good way to view these logs, so it kind of puts a damper on things. Has anyone found a good way to actually see these messages without having to open every single one?

Probably going to turn this back off.

It's an older feature discussed in sk102995 also used it many moons ago in a smaller environment to ingest Cisco ASA logs into an SMS (back when we only had SmartView Tracker)...

A dedicated syslog server other than the SMS is typically recommended however.
