Hi Max,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

Few comments on that:

  1. The general answer depends on the log format that each of these tools exports. While I'm not familiar with the format exported by "Log Exporter", MCAS do support formats exported from CPLOGTOSYSLOG.

  3. Can you elaborate some more on the meaning of "Checkpoint side Log Exporter tool is their preferred method going forward"?

 

Thanks,

Danny.
