hi

I have set up the pix to log ot a syslog server running Kiwi sys deamon. I have set the trapping level to 5. all is working fine and i am getting logs out of it.

however - the url's have been resolved to ip. by that i mean in the log i am get ip of x.x.x.x is accessing url 212.212.212.212/blah/blah

has anyone any ideas on how I can get it to log the url before its resolved?
thanks
 
The PIX doesn't resolve names, it only see connections to IP addresses so you will not be able to log URLs by name.
 
My syslog logs the full domain name. The thing that makes the difference is having a WORKING url filtering software running. n2h2 or Websense.

For example:

Feb 10 11:10:28 172.16.1.1 Feb 10 2005 11:10:26: %PIX-5-304001: 172.16.1.13 Accessed URL 208.38.45.184:
You may be able to just add the url-server and filter commands to your config, but I doubt it.

Of course both those products provide URL logging too and probably is easier to interpret then syslog.
