OSSEC expects the logs to be in the following format (without the message id):

Aug 20 11:28:27 RouterName %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGS: list 30 denied
203.20.69.66 1 packet

We can definetely change the decoder, but the issue is that we need a format
that works across all the routers. If you enable the timestamp,
different ios versions
send them differently, making it hard to parse.

Do you mind sharing a few more log samples with us (from your previous config)?

Basically, I can see the following formats (after the syslog header):

681: Aug 17 17:41:24.776 AEST: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGS:

1348: .Jun 12 18:22:22 UTC: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I:

1348: *Jun 12 18:22:22 UTC: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I:

23: May  3 05:15:25.217 UTC: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP:


Anyone else using cisco IOS? Can you please share some of your log formats so we
can try to support it as best as possible?


Thanks,
