Syslog compatibility

Syslog export formats

A syslog export format is a data formatting method that

  • enables export of event or alert data, or both, from Cisco Cyber Vision,

  • supports industry standards for integration with third-party security tools, and

  • allows selection of different time precision and compatibility levels.

Additional information

Cisco Cyber Vision uses the industry-standard rsyslog implementation internally and supports both UDP and TCP transmission. The destination IP and port can be set in the admin page for Cisco Cyber Vision. Note that syslog formats are often loosely defined and may not be uniformly implemented by all vendors; Cisco Cyber Vision Center adheres to best practices to ensure exported data is broadly compatible and easy to interpret.
