Logging NAT Translations on the Cisco ASA

It’s often handy when dealing with infringement notices and the like to have NAT translations logged.  Sure a better way would be to record netflow from these devices (and include the translations) but for a quick syslog solution, you can always:

1
2
3
logging enable
logging list ToSyslog level critical
logging list ToSyslog message 305011

See http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/pix/pix63/system/message/63syslog/pixemsgs.html#wp1054604

Messages will look something like:

1
