Send Syslog Messages to an E-mail Address

You can set up a list of recipients for syslog messages to be sent as e-mails.

Tip	If you are configuring devices to send syslog messages about security events (such as connection and intrusion events), most threat defense platform settings do not apply to these messages. See Threat Defense Platform Settings That Apply to Security Event Syslog Messages.

Before you begin

Step 1	Choose Devices > Platform Settings and create or edit the threat defense policy.
Step 2	Select Syslog > Email Setup.
Step 3	Specify the e-mail address that is used as the source address for syslog messages that are sent as e-mail messages.
Step 4	Click Add to enter a new e-mail address recipient of the specified syslog messages.
Step 5	Choose the severity level of the syslog messages that are sent to the recipient from the drop-down list. The syslog message severity filter used for the destination e-mail address causes messages of the specified severity level and higher to be sent. For information on the levels, see Severity Levels.
Step 6	Click OK.
Step 7	Click Save. You can now go to Deploy > Deployment and deploy the policy to assigned devices. The changes are not active until you deploy them.
