LicenseTypes Essential license consumed or Advantage license consumed

adamscottmaster2013 — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 11:29:18 GMT

Environment is ISE 3.2 patch-4. If I click on the "details" in the livelog page, I can see the type of license is being consumed like "LicenseTypes Essential license consumed." or "LicenseTypes Advantage license consumed." I set my syslog message maximum size to 8192 but I am not seeing this information in syslog. Is that expected? TIA

Hi @adamscottmaster2013

If you selected the Logging Categories of "AAA Audit > Passed Authentications" and then send that to your remote SYSLOG server, you'll see that with passed Authentications, there is a LicenseType for each successful authentication:

SYSLOG ending in:

LicenseTypes=1; } - Essentials License

LicenseTypes=1027; } - Advantage License

Hi @Arne Bier: Yes, I do have the Logging Categories of "AAA Audit > Passed Authentications" and then send that to remote SYSLOG server. From there, I performed tcpdump on the ISE node(s) and while I am seeing a lot of syslog messages to the syslog server, none of those messages contains LicenceTypes. Perhaps I am doing something wrong here. Any advise? TIA

Correction: I did see the "LicenseType=1". I was looking for Essential and Advantage.

Thanks again.

Edit again: In my case, whenever it uses "Advantage License", I see the code 515 instead of 1027. See below:
