You can configure syslog alerting in an intrusion policy. After you apply the policy as part of an access 
control policy, the system notifies you of any intrusion events it detects via the syslog. For more 
information on syslog alerting, see 
.
To configure syslog alerting options:
Access: 
Admin/Intrusion Admin
Step 1
Select 
Policies > Intrusion > Intrusion Policy.
The Intrusion Policy page appears.
Step 2
Click the edit icon (
) next to the policy you want to edit.
If you have unsaved changes in another policy, click 
OK
 to discard those changes and continue. See 
 for information on saving unsaved changes in another 
policy.
The Policy Information page appears.
Step 3
Click 
Advanced Settings
 in the navigation panel on the left.
The Advanced Settings page appears.
Step 4
You have two choices, depending on whether 
Syslog Alerting

If the configuration is enabled, click 
Edit

  •
If the configuration is disabled, click

The Syslog Alerting page appears.
A message at the bottom of the page identifies the intrusion policy layer that contains the configuration. 
See

Step 5
Optionally, in the 
Logging Hosts
 field, enter the remote access IP address you want to specify as logging 
host. Separate multiple hosts with commas.
Step 6
Select facility and priority levels from the drop-down lists.
See 
 for details on facility and priority options.
Step 7
Save your policy, continue editing, discard your changes, revert to the default configuration settings in 
the base policy, or exit while leaving your changes in the system cache. See the
