Configure Sophos XG Firewall to send logs to Arctic Wolf

You can configure the Sophos XG Firewall® to send the necessary logs to Arctic Wolf® for security monitoring.

These resources are required:

  • An activated Capteur Arctic Wolf or Collecteur de journaux virtuel (vLC)
  • Access to the Sophos Enterprise Console with administrator permissions
Note:

If the VPN Portal and SSL VPN service share the same WAN port, Sophos logs failed VPN login attempts from 127.0.0.1 instead of the real external IP address. For accurate source IP data, configure these services on separate ports, or remove WAN access from the service that does not need it.

Configure log forwarding

  1. Sign in to the Sophos Enterprise Console with administrator permissions.
  2. Click System services > Log settings.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Configure these settings:
    Note:

    Do not use secure log transmission because it renders the syslog data unusable to Arctic Wolf.

    • Name — Enter a name for the syslog server.
    • IP address / Domain — Enter your Capteur Arctic Wolf IP address.
    • Secure log transmission — Clear the checkbox.
    • Port — Enter 514.
    • Facility — Keep the default option.
    • Severity level — Select Informational.
    • Format — Select Standard syslog protocol.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Navigate to the Log settings section.
  7. In the Suppress logs column, make sure that Firewall is not selected.
  8. In the column with the name of the syslog server that you configured earlier, select all logs.
