log file from sonicwall to cloudapp security

Hi.
Just try to follow this articel:
https://kmartins.com/2018/03/07/configure-microsoft-cloud-app-security-to-analyze-sonicwall-logs/
To get my sonicwall to report syslog to cloud app security.

but we keeps getting this error in Governance Log:

"Log format does not match the expected format for SONICWALL_SYSLOG."

 

Any pointers of what can fix this?

    Old post I know, but I thought I'd post the answer for anyone else searching.

    The SonicWall appliance must have the date log format set to UTC in the Device/System/Time settings

     

    Display UTC in logs (instead of local time) set to true

      THANK YOU SO MUCH

      I had the UTC in logs setting turned on, but it never even occurred to me to check the device time settings

        MoodyBES when exporting from Sonicwall, what format did you select? I only see CSV, TXT, Email. When importing into Microsoft Cloud Apps, did you select the default Sonicwall (from the drop down menu)?
