ASM Logging Best Practices

What are the best practices when logging? TCP/UDP? Key/Pair or CSV? What is the recommended maximum entry length? Thanks!

  • TCP is best if you need to make sure you don't lose any log data (a requirement in the financial sector for example).

     

    Re: format etc. - all depends on the destination SIEM system where you send the logs. If you send your logs to Splunk for example (seems to be a popular choice these days) - there is a good article explaining the formatting of the fields and other settings here:

    I hope this helps
