Proxy Configuration for Cisco WSA (Legacy)

A log subscription is an appliance configuration that specifies the type of log file to create, the log file name, and the method of retrieving the log file. Skyhigh CASB works best with the W3C Access Log type.

To configure log file subscriptions, use the Cisco System Administration > Log Subscriptions page.  

Add and Edit Log Subscriptions

To add or edit a log subscription perform these steps:

  1. Go to System Administration > Log Subscriptions.
