I've heard that Meraki strongly suggests to not send syslog traffic over a vpn tunnel.
I've not been able to find any documentation mentioning this. The only official docs I've found are these three.
Syslog Event Types and Log Samples
Syslog Server Overview and Configuration
Meraki Device Reporting - Syslog, SNMP and API
Has anyone noticed any performance hits to the MXs when sending syslog messages through a VPN tunnel with data and voice?
We send loads of syslogs over our SD-WAN VPN tunnels, haven't noticed it causing any issues and we run 50+ VoIP/video handsets at each site
@cmr Do you have to do the trick with the firewall rule, or does it just go for you? Thank you.
It just worked for us!

This is a great answer, thank you! We're beginning to send syslog via VPN, assuming a vendor can tell which customer the traffic belongs to. The vendor originally wanted naked syslog over the internet. 😱
Now that is just ****** how can they not realise that is not a good idea? 😱

It's a managed security services provider that specializes in banks.
So, you know... it's reassuring.
