I have an ASA pair configured for active/standby failover. However they don't seem to be generating syslog events related to failover status. Do I need some specific configuration for this? Are some contexts simply unable to log these events?
Contexts:
-Chassis Manager
-System Context
-Admin Context
-Normal Contexts
Events that need logging:
-Failover to other chassis
-Standby chassis becomes Failed
-Interface on Active chassis becomes Failed/No Link
-Interface on Standby chassis becomes Failed/No Link
Right now we have Informational logging on all the Normal Contexts and the Admin context, but don't seem to be getting any syslogs for these events. Do I need logging on the System Context? Or the Chassis Manager? I'm really surprised that a cable can be physically unplugged and the Normal Contexts don't generate any syslogs. Is there some logging setting I can configure to make them do so?

changeto context <context_name>
logging enable
logging buffered informational
logging trap notifications
logging host <interface> <syslog_IP>
This how yoh need to config log per context

Well at least I'm not crazy, and it's set up correctly. But it isn't generating logs when it fails over, so something else must be wrong...

Hey again @MHM Cisco World,
Sorry about that, MHM. I had multiple Cisco Community queries open at the same time, and I must have dropped my reply in the wrong spot by mistake.
