How is the data sent to Devo?

Logs generated by Cisco must be sent to the Devo platform via the Devo Relay to secure communication. See the required relay rules below:

Relay rule 1 - ap.cisco.wlc

  • Source Port → Any available port.

  • Target Tagap.cisco.wlc

  • Select the  Sent without syslog tag checkbox.

No 3rd-party mechanism is used. No collector is needed.

Log samples

The following are sample logs sent to each of the ap.cisco data tables. Also, find how the information will be parsed in your data table under each sample log.

The parser can handle any letter or symbol before the facility field.

And this is how the log would be parsed:
