Configuring the Log and Control Forwarding Rule
You can configure a Log and Control Forwarding rule to control how the traffic logs and the operational messages are forwarded to the Zscaler cloud.
Adding a Log and Control Forwarding Rule
A default log and control forwarding rule with a default gateway forwarding action is automatically created. To configure a log and control forwarding rule:
- Go to Infrastructure > Connectors > Cloud > Log and Streaming for Cloud Connector or Infrastructure > Connectors > Edge > Log and Streaming for Branch Connector.
Click Add Log and Control Forwarding Rule.
The Add Log and Control Forwarding Rule window appears.
- In the Add Log Control and Forwarding Rule window:
- In the Forwarding Rule section, enter the rule attributes:
- Rule Order: Enter the order of the rule. Forwarding rules are evaluated in ascending numerical order (Rule 1 before Rule 2), and the Rule Order reflects this rule's place in the order. You can change the value based on your requirements.
- Rule Name: Enter a user-friendly name for the rule. The log and forwarding control automatically creates a rule name, which you can change. The maximum length is 31 characters.
- Rule Status: Select Enabled to actively enforce the rule. When you select Disabled, the service skips it and moves to the next rule. However, the rule does not lose its place in the Rule Order.
- In the Source section, configure the following rule attributes:
- Location/Sublocation: Select Any to apply the rule to all locations, or select up to 8 locations. You can also search for and select a location.
- Cloud & Branch Connector Groups: Select Any to apply the rule to all groups, or select specific groups to apply the rule. You can also search for groups and select them.
- From the Gateway drop-down menu, choose an appropriate Log and Control Gateway.
- In the Description field, enter additional notes or information. The description cannot exceed 10,240 characters.
- In the Forwarding Rule section, enter the rule attributes:
- Click Save and activate the change.
