ACI packet logging to System>Events

[edbucher]

Cisco ACI 4.2(7s)

I want to see the contract deny packet logs appear in the System>Events window for troubleshooting purposes. It currently is not being presented.

I know this works because I have it working in a different ACI environment. I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find where this is enabled. I'm using the default monitoring policy in all tenants with all 4 check boxes checked (audit, event, faults, session). The fabric and access monitoring have been configured as well.

Thanks in advance for any assistance in this matter.

Hello @edbucher To see contract deny packet logs in the System > Events window in Cisco ACI 4.2, you need to enable logging for the specific contracts and filters that you are interested in. By default, contract deny logs may not be enabled, so you need to configure this explicitly.

Thank you for your response @AshSe ! When you state to enable logging for the contracts/filters do you mean with the "Directives" portion of the filter configuration under the contract? If so, how do you do that with the implicit deny statement since it doesn't show up? If not, can you give a little more detail on where this is done?
