Configuration on Server Side

You need to configure your Cisco ISR device to forward Syslog messages.

Perform the following in order to configure log forwarding:

1. Enter Global Configuration Mode by either typing configure terminal or conf t.
2. Input the destination of where the logs should be sent by typing logging <Hostname OR IP Address\>.

The instructions above set the logging with default configuration values.

Syslog Time Parsing Support

By default, syslog timestamp parsing supports a UTC timezone (offset "+00:00").
To support other timezones you will need to modify Parsing Rules in Data Management → Data Model Rules and select the User Defined tab, and change the UTC offset in parse_timestamp functions to the relevant timezone.
For example, to support EDT timezone, set the UTC offset to "-04:00"
In addition, in the product setting, add the year and milliseconds to the default datetime format.

• Service timestamps command doc
• Clock Timezone command doc

1. Enter Global Configuration Mode by either typing configure terminal or conf t.
2. Configure your syslog timestamp formatting by typing the command;

service timestamps log datetime year msec

3. Optional, to configure the timezone format to UTC, type the command;

clock timezone UTC 0

4. Revert back to Privileged EXEC mode by typing end.
5. Save your changes by either typing

write memory

OR

copy running-config startup-config 

And wait for system confirmation.

Timestamp ingestion is currently supported for the following formats in UTC time zone;

• mmm d HH:MM:SS.sss - E.g., Jan 9 09:00:00.321
• mmm dd HH:MM:SS.sss - E.g., Jan 01 10:00:00.123
• mmm d YYYY HH:MM:SS.sss - E.g., Feb 3 2025 22:04:01.776
• mmm dd YYYY HH:MM:SS.sss - E.g., Mar 01 2021 10:00:00.123
