Collect DHCP lease log through syslog

I have configured the DHCP configuration profile and DHCP servers in the Infoblox CSP portal. I am successfully receiving DNS query related logs via syslog by configuring a data connector and traffic flow.

However, I also want to receive DHCP lease related logs specifically DHCP lease create, DHCP lease update, and DHCP lease delete events on the configured syslog server. Currently, DHCP lease related logs are not being forwarded to syslog server.

Could someone please suggest what additional configurations or settings are required to enable DHCP lease logging in syslog?

    CSP→Administration→Data Connector→Edit your CDC to the log settings to include DHCP.

    @nic w Thanks for sharing the detailed configuration steps.

    I have already configured "DDI DHCP Lease Log" in source configuration at the time of creating traffic flow. Still I was not able to see DHCP lease log on the syslog server.

    Do you have record of logs from CDC to Syslog and they aren't rendering, or you have no logs flowing either?

    In the Infoblox portal, if you go look at the DHCP service and show recent logs, do you see service logs in the portal?
