Title: Default Settings
Post by: deanwebb on March 05, 2017, 01:24:44 PM
I was configuring syslog in NAC... ForeScout CounterACT...

Syslog is not working. I have all the correct settings for each NAC appliance, but the syslogs do not go out. I go into the policies that generate syslogs and they're all on default settings because, by default, I want each appliance to use the settings I defined for them.

But if I go into the rules and change the default values, the syslogs send out. That's good, but I want to use the default settings that employ regional collectors, not send everything to one collector.

Then I try something... While it says "Click here to change default settings", I type in "Default". I type in "Default" for all the settings.

The syslogs send out!

I tell this to the vendor engineer on site and he then pulls up a bug that confirms what I experienced. It's good that it gets fixed in the next version, but for now...

The default settings are not the default settings by default, but if I specify default settings then default settings will be applied.
