Viewing VPN System Logs

The system captures event information to help you to gather additional information about the source of your VPN problems. Any VPN syslogs that are displayed have a default severity level ‘ERROR’ or higher (unless changed). By default the rows are sorted by the Time column.

You must be an Admin user in a leaf domain to perform this task.

Before you begin

Enable VPN logging by checking the Enable Logging to Secure Firewall Management Center check boxselecting the VPN Logs radio button under the Logging to Secure Firewall Management Center setting in the threat defense platform settings (Devices > Platform Settings > Syslog > Logging Setup).

See Syslog for details on enabling VPN logging, configuring syslog servers, and viewing the system logs.
