Subscribe a Security Analytics and Logging License

Start a Security Analytics and Logging Trial Subscription

Purchase a data storage plan that matches the daily event volume your onboarded security devices send to Cisco cloud. This volume is referred to as your daily ingest rate. Before making a purchase, participate in a free trial of Security Analytics and Logging to accurately estimate your daily ingest rate.

  • With this trial plan, you gain access to all Security Analytics and Logging features for 90 days.

  • During the 90-day trial period, your onboarded firewalls send events to Security Analytics and Logging. Monitor your event ingestion rates, understand your storage requirements, and evaluate performance. This data helps you to plan and select the most appropriate paid subscription.

  • If you activate a paid Security Analytics and Logging subscription while a trial is active, Security Cloud Control replaces the trial license for the product instance with the paid license and ends the trial.

  • If you choose not to apply the paid subscription to the trial, event ingestion automatically stops after 90 days. After this, you cannot access Security Analytics and Logging features. However, your existing log data remains in the Security Analytics and Logging cloud for an additional 90 days from the trial expiry date.

    Note

    If you do not subscribe to a paid Security Analytics and Logging license within this 90-day grace period, all your trial data is permanently deleted.

Order a Paid Security Analytics and Logging Subscription

To continue using Security Analytics and Logging after your trial, or to upgrade your existing logging capabilities:

  1. Use the insights that you gained from your trial (daily ingest rate, required retention, storage volume) to determine the most suitable Security Analytics and Logging subscription plan.

  2. Work with your Cisco representative or authorized partner to purchase the appropriate Security Analytics and Logging subscription.

Claim Your Security Analytics and Logging Subscription

After you purchase a new Security Analytics and Logging subscription, you receive a claim code to activate it within Security Cloud Control. A welcome email containing your subscription claim code is automatically sent to the Provisioning Contact you specified during the purchasing process. If you included an End Customer contact, they also receive a copy. You will receive this email on the requested start date of your subscription.

A Security Cloud Control administrator uses the claim code to activate the subscription for their organization. For detailed instructions on claiming and activating subscriptions, refer to Claim a Subscription.

Renew Your Security Analytics and Logging Subscription

Maintaining an active Security Analytics and Logging subscription ensures continuous logging and access to your historical data.

  • If your Security Analytics and Logging subscription expires without renewal, event ingestion from your firewalls stops immediately.

  • Your existing data remains in the Security Analytics and Logging cloud for a 180-day grace period from the license expiry date. During this time, you can still access and search your historical data.

  • If the Security Analytics and Logging license is not renewed within this grace period, all your data is permanently deleted from the Security Analytics and Logging cloud.
