XG fwlog.log empty except for NOTICE:

Hi all,

I've set up an XG with a few different firewall rules, and set them to log.

The log viewer acts as expected, showing allows and denies for the rules I selected to log.

When I go to the console and attempt to look at the fwlog.log file, the only message in the file is:

"NOTICE: Netlink socket buffer size has been set to 8388608 bytes."

This message is repeated a few times, without timestamps.

Any clue as to what's causing this and why I'm not getting any logs from my firewall rules?

Current FW is SFOS 17.5.5 MR-5

Hi Austin Manuel1,

Can you please let me know what type of logs you are looking for from the backend? The fwlog.log does not show logs you see on the GUI.

Thanks,

I'm just looking for firewall logs. The same kind you get on the log viewer when "Firewall" is selected from the drop down log selection menu.

Hi Austin Manuel1,

I do not think there is any log file on XG that would have log entries that you see on log viewer when firewall is selected.

Thanks,

There is a "live" feature to look at the live dropped packets, called Drop packet capture.

But there is no Log file, which actually print all this stuff into one file.

You could easily build this by yourself, if you want, but actually i do not see the need in using this as a file.
