ESI online help has a small chapter on this. see if this helps? 

"Use LSData to Obtain a Log File in Syslog Format"

Before using the LSData utility, you must push the logs from the event source that you want to integrate into enVision using the configured protocol.

To use lsdata to obtain a file in syslog format:

1. On any enVision appliance, open a new command shell, and change directories to ..\nic\enVisionVersionNumber\SystemName\bin\.
2. Type:

lsdata -events Syslog options -time start end -devices "devicespec"

    where:

• start is the starting time of returned data.

• end is the ending time of returned data.

• "devicespec" is the specification for an event source. You can enter more than one "devicespec" value in the command.

Could you give me an example of the command line with the time formates and the devicespec??

Thanks ive worked it out. thanks for your help

Just for completeness:

lsdata -d 0 -time hour now -devices "foo" > e:\tempfolder\foodevice.unx

ESI will then ask you if you received these logs from lsdata.
