Hi,

The configuration you specified is good enough to send APPTRACK logs to
syslog server. You may verify using wireshark whether you are actually
receiving those or not.As mentioned by Wood,log message will start with
APPTRACK_SESSION_.

You may view these logs in any syslog server. however you'll need an SIEM
like STRM to normalize the events and generate reports based on these logs.
About NFSEN, I'm not sure as I haven't used it.
