Cisco ASA VPN Monitoring

Post by gregwhite »

I am trying to set up this plugin and I have 2 questions.
I have set up the Input and filter. The input has the syslog type as 'asa' and the port as 6514. If you already have the syslog coming on on port 5544 do I need to change it?
Where does the Dashboard JSON file go?

Thanks,

Do you have a link to the plugin and whatnot you're using?

If the ASA is sending to port 6514, you shouldn't change your port 5544 input, if that's what you're asking about.

Are you looking for where it is actually stored, or asking how it's imported?

Here is the link.

The plugin has the port for the asa's set at 6514. We already have their syslog coming in on port 5544 so I am wondering if I need to change it to 6514?

Also, the Dashboard JSON file. Does this get put in a directory?

Can you send them to port 5544 instead? I think the idea here is this way they get tagged as a certain type, "asa" in this case, which makes the dashboard functional.

As far as uploading the file, take a look at this screenshot:
