Where can I find Cisco ASA syslog format description? Log example:

I found only this doc from Cisco where nothing explained about "Message_text" field.

  • What is your real question? Your link explains how the ASA creates syslog messages and in what format.

have a look at this, use eg %ASA-4-106023 as index : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/system/message/logmsgs.html

Error Message %PIX|ASA-4-106023: Deny protocol src [interface_name:source_address/source_port] dst interface_name:dest_address/dest_port [type {string}, code {code}] by access_group acl_ID

Explanation A real IP packet was denied by the ACL. This message displays even if you do not have the log option enabled for an ACL.

Recommended Action If messages persist from the same source address, messages might indicate a foot-printing or port-scanning attempt. Contact the remote host administrators.
