Details

Determines which syslog messages should be temporary stored in the local buffer so they can be checked by the administrator

Rationale:

The internal log buffer serves as a temporary storage location, thus allowing the administrator performing a health check on the system to locally have the last logs generated. Given that the size of the buffer is limited, it is better to have a specific set of syslog messages to be kept therein.

Solution

Firepower Management Center:

Devices > Platform settings > Syslog > Logging setup
