Sending VPN logs to your email

every VPN connection site to site or SSL or Remote access usually the might face problems that need your troubleshooting and diagnosing

the process may need your access to CLI and enable logging and debugging in order to find the problem which might be in right time when the user had the problem

so in here i will create configuration steps that help you receive the logs from your Firewall [ ASA ] to your email account

in this case you can check logs for failed connections at your inbox and you can find the error codes and check what the issue from there....

1. add the source of the emails to be send from and the destination of the emails that would be your email account

to do that from ASDM :

Configuration > device management > logging > email setup

then add source email address and then add destination email

2. create your event list that will be used to identify events and severity  to be monitored

configuration > device management > logging >  event lists

add your list and name it and choose the events that you will need to be triggered for in our case we will choose for example : SSL, VPN, Auth 

then Now you have to enable this list

Go to Logging Filters and choose E-mail logging in the path Configuration > device management > logging > logging filters

choose the E-Mail loggin from the options available in the page

then click on Edit

choose the event list from the drop box, which you created in event list before

choose Ok and apply then save configurations

you should now receive emails in your inbox for the authentication process of remote access VPN and if there is any problem with authentication which will help you identify if there is a problem and how to solve it depends on error code and description 

the logs should be something like this
