300-710 SNCF Integration Practice Question
An administrator configures Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense to send connection logs to a syslog server. The SIEM administrator reports that connection teardown logs are missing, while connection creation logs are successfully received. What setting in the FTD Platform Settings syslog configuration needs to be adjusted?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Ensure that 'Log Beginning of Connection' and 'Log End of Connection' (Teardown) are both explicitly enabled in the FTD Platform Settings logging configuration.
By default, FTD logging options allow configuring whether to log connection begin, connection end (teardown), or both. If teardown logs are missing, the logging option for 'Connection Teardown' (or closed connections) is disabled in the Platform Settings logging configuration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Increase the syslog severity level from informational to debug.
Why it's wrong here
Informational severity captures connection creation and teardown; debug is unnecessary and generates excessive noise.
- ✗
Change the syslog facility from local4 to daemon.
Why it's wrong here
Syslog facility changes alter log categorization, not whether connection teardown events are generated.
- ✓
Ensure that 'Log Beginning of Connection' and 'Log End of Connection' (Teardown) are both explicitly enabled in the FTD Platform Settings logging configuration.
Why this is correct
Teardown logs are generated only when connection end logging is explicitly enabled in the platform settings or access control rule logging options.
- ✗
Enable 'Reliable Syslog' over TCP.
Why it's wrong here
Transport protocol (TCP vs UDP) affects delivery reliability, not whether connection teardown logging is enabled.
