turn on logging to rsyslog server on xgs fw

ok i googled it and its here

https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/18.5/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/SystemServices/LogSettings/SyslogServerAdd/index.html

but im confused, what do i choose for facility and format

its a ubuntu 20.04 with rsyslog, so i imagine i choose "central reporting format?"

Hello there,

So either format would work, the only difference is how it’ll be shown to you in your Syslog:

Device Standard Reporting

<29>device="SFW" date=2022-06-23 time=12:42:28 timezone="PDT" device_name="XG125" device_id=C1A0AXXXXXXX log_id=062009517504 log_type="Event" log_component="GUI" log_subtype="Admin" status="Successful" priority=Notice user_name="admin" src_ip=172.16.15 172.16.15.254 23/06 12:42:30.577

Central Reporting

<29>device_name="SFW" timestamp="2022-06-23T12:43:38-0700" device_model="XG125" device_serial_id="C1A0AXXXXXXX" log_id="062009517504" log_type="Event" log_component="GUI" log_subtype="Admin" status="Successful" severity="Notice" log_version=1 user_name 172.16.15.254 23/06 12:43:40.669

thanks, and what about facility

Hello,

DAEMON is the most used with Debug as severity, but this might cause a lot of logs, or you can try Notification. 

Regards,

would i need to create a firewall rule for this aswell, so the FW can talk to the log server?

LOL, i forgot to tick the boxes after i added my syslog server, a new column came up and i had to tick what info i wanted it to send to the log server
