View on-premise log collector files

Hi,

 

I set-up continuous reports with an on-premise docker container.  It works but MCAS is always rejecting my log format.  I'm using Firepower 64 log source and I noticed we are not sending the same date format (when fixing the log manually with the date format that MCAS likes, it succeed.).  So I'm rewriting the date format in syslog on the source but it is still failing.  Is there a way I can see the files that are sent to MCAS on the log collector ? Where are they stored ?

    docker exec -it <container name> /bin/bash

    This will open a console for you, from which you can go the directory where the logs are located:

    cd /var/adallom/syslog/portNumber

    ​Or

    /var/adallom/syslog/rotated/portNumber

     

    You can also check the status of the container:

    docker exec ContainerName /etc/adallom/scripts/collector_status -p
