## Overview

![image](https://cdn.document360.io/5f63f0e0-3c70-4d00-b623-82493be0bde5/Images/Documentation/76dc6ff-cisco%281%29.png)[Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers](https://www.cisco.com/site/in/en/products/networking/wireless/wireless-lan-controllers/index.html) (WLCs) are aiding in the management, control, and monitoring of Cisco wireless networks. They handle functions like access point (AP) provisioning, association and authentication of wireless clients, security and policy enforcement, radio frequency (RF) management, and quality of service (QoS) for wireless networks.

Integrating Cisco WLC Logs to Hunters allows to ingest the data from your appliances.

## Supported data types

### Cisco WLC Logs

**Table name:** `cisco_wlc_logs`

Syslog messages generated by Cisco WLC provide a wealth of information about the operational status, performance, and security of the wireless network, helping network administrators to maintain optimal network health and security.

Learn more [here](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/4100-series-wireless-lan-controllers/107252-WLC-Syslog-Server.html).

## Send data to Hunters

Hunters supports the ingestion of Cisco WLC logs via an intermediary AWS S3 bucket.

**To connect Cisco WLC logs:**

1. Export your logs from Cisco WLC to an AWS S3 bucket by following [this guide](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/4100-series-wireless-lan-controllers/107252-WLC-Syslog-Server.html).
2. Once the export is completed and the logs are collected to S3, follow the steps in [this section](/v1/docs/connect-data-through-aws-s3).

## Expected format

Logs are expected in text format.
