Sending System Log Messages to ASDM

You can configure the security appliance to send system log messages to ASDM. The security appliance
sets aside a buffer area for system log messages waiting to be sent to ASDM and saves messages in the
buffer as they occur. The ASDM log buffer is a different buffer than the internal log buffer. For
information about the internal log buffer, see the
section on page
When the ASDM log buffer is full, the security appliance deletes the oldest system log message to make
room in the buffer for new system log messages. To control the number of system log messages retained
in the ASDM log buffer, you can change the size of the buffer.
