300-710 SNCF Integration Practice Question
An administrator configures Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense to send syslog messages to a SIEM. The administrator wants to ensure that syslog messages include the unique firewall ID (device name) and structured metadata so the SIEM can distinguish logs coming from multiple firewalls in a cluster. Where is this configured?

Correct answer & explanation

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
In Platform Settings > Syslog > Syslog Settings, configure the device identifier option (device name or IP).
Why this is correct
Syslog headers can be customized in Platform Settings to include the firewall device name or identifier.
- ✗
Via the FTD CLI command 'syslog device-name override'.
Why it's wrong here
FTD configuration is centrally managed via FMC Platform Settings, not individual CLI overrides.
- ✗
In Objects > Object Management > Syslog Headers.
Why it's wrong here
Syslog headers are configured within Platform Settings, not as separate Object Management items.
- ✗
In System > Configuration > Identification.
Why it's wrong here
System configuration sets FMC parameters, not FTD syslog formatting.
