Incorporating endpoint device data in the web filter UTM logs NEW

Endpoint device data, including hostname and MAC address, have been incorporated in the web filter UTM logs. Endpoint device data can be incorporated in the logs using the following:

config log setting
    set extended-utm-log {enable | disable}
end

To incorporate endpoint device data in the web filter UTM logs, ensure a firewall policy with a web filter profile is configured and Device detection is configured on the interfaces. Device detection can be configured in Network > Interfaces and the CLI.

When this command is enabled, the srcmac and srcname fields are included in the web filter UTM logs:

Likewise, the Device column is populated with the endpoint hostname information in the Log & Report > Security Events > Logs table:

When this command is disabled, the new fields are excluded from the web filter UTM logs and the Device column does not display the client hostname information. The command is disabled by default.
