extended_format Sets whether extended format is used for Syslog messages: "enable" (= extended) or "disable" (= not extended). Default is disabled (not extended).

Default

By default, Syslog messages are only sent on first use of a rule.

By default, extended-format and machine-readable are disabled (not extended and in decimal format).

Usage Guidelines

This command allows you to set parameters for Syslog messages that are sent when a policy rule is used when set up in the command configure policy rule profile_index [{app-signature group group name name} | ether ether | icmp6type icmp6type | icmptype icmptype | ip6dest ip6dest |ipdestsocket ipdestsocket | ipfrag | ipproto ipproto | ipsourcesocket ipsourcesocket | iptos iptos | ipttl ipttl | macdest macdest | macsource macsource | port port | tcpdestportIP tcpdestportIP | tcpsourceportIP tcpsourceportIP | udpdestportIP udpdestportIP | udpsourceportIP udpsourceportIP ] {mask mask } {port-string [ port_string | all]} {storage-type [non-volatile | volatile]} {drop | forward} {syslog syslog} {trap trap} {cos cos } {mirror-destination control_index} {clear-mirror} .

When Syslog messages are configured to be sent every time a rule is used, messages are sent at a maximum rate of once every five seconds.

To view the parameters configured by this command, use the command show policy syslog {machine-readable} {extended-format} {every-time}.

Example

The following example sets Syslog messages to be sent every time a rule is used:

#configure policy syslog every-time enable
