Setting Logging And Notification For A Service - Watchguard Firebox FireboxTM System 4.6 User Manual

Customizing logging and notification by service or option
Send Notification
Enable this checkbox to enable notification on the event type; clear it to disable
logging for the event type.
The remaining controls are active when you enable the Send Notification checkbox:
E-mail
Triggers an e-mail message when the event occurs. Set the e-mail recipient in
the Notification tab of the LiveSecurity Event Processor.
Pager
Triggers a page when the event occurs. Set the pager number in the
Notification tab of the LiveSecurity Event Processor.
Popup Window
Triggers a pop-up window display on the Event Processor when the event
occurs.
Custom Program
Triggers a custom program when the event occurs. WatchGuard allows only
one notification type per event. A custom batch file or program enables you to
trigger multiple types of notification. Type the full path to the program in the
accompanying field, or use Browse to locate and select the program.
Setting Launch Interval and Repeat Count
There are two parameters that work in conjunction with the Event Processor Repeat
Interval to control notification timing:
Launch Interval
The minimum time (in minutes) between separate launches of a notifier. Set
this parameter to prevent the launch of several notifiers in response to similar
events that take place in a short amount of time.
Repeat Count
The threshold for how often a notifier can repeat before the Firebox activates
the special repeat notifier. The repeat notifier creates a log entry that the
notifier in question is repeating. Notification repeats only after this number of
events occurs.
For an example of how launch interval and repeat count interact, see the Network
Security Handbook.
