Hi,

I am working in shared network environment where data is comming from firewalls windows, antivirus etc. What are the cisco:asa logs that are recommended by experts not to log onto the splunk because they are unnecessary?
Quick answer would be appreciated.

Thanks

You might find different opinions on what is unnecessary but you could start by looking at your logs, or indexing everything then looking at stats on message numbers then applying a null-queue transform to the messages you want to avoid. Here is a starting point which is dated but links to some newer info:
