Send ASA syslog events to the Cisco Cloud using a Security Cloud Control macro

A Security Cloud Control macro is a configuration tool that

  • allows you to assemble a list of CLI commands and turn elements of the command syntax into parameters

  • can be saved and used more than once, and

  • can be run on multiple devices at the same time to configure all your ASAs to send events to the Cisco cloud.

Macro benefits

Using proven macros promotes configuration consistencies between devices and prevents syntax errors that can occur when using the command line interface.

You can configure all your ASAs to send events to the Cisco cloud by creating a Security Cloud Control macro that uses all the commands described in Send ASA Syslog Events to the Cisco Cloud Using the Command Line Interface and running that macro on all your ASA in the same batch.

Before you read further, review macros in Security Cloud Control configuration guide Run a CLI macro so that you understand the mechanics of using macros. This article will only describe assembling the final macro.
