information center then decides the output destination.

Output to the specified userlog log host in UDP packets in binary format.

Configuring Flow Logging

NOTE:

At present, flow logs refer to session logs only. To generate flow logs, you need to configure session

Introduction

Flow logging records users’ access information to the external network. The device classifies and

calculates flows through the 5-tuple information, which includes source IP address, destination IP address,
source port, destination port, and protocol number, and generates user flow logs. Flow logging records

the 5-tuple information of the packets and number of the bytes received and sent. With flow logging,

administrators can track and record accesses to the network, facilitating the availability and security of

the network.
Two versions are available with flow logging: version 1.0 and version 3.0, which are slightly different in

packet format. For details, see the following two tables.
