Chapter 15 Logs Screens; Logs Overview; Alerts And Logs; Configuring Log Settings - ZyXEL Communications ADSL 2+ Gateway P-660HW-T1 User Manual

This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and viewing the
Prestige's logs. Refer to the appendix for example log message explanations.

15.1 Logs Overview

The web configurator allows you to choose which categories of events and/or alerts to have
the Prestige log and then display the logs or have the Prestige send them to an administrator
(as e-mail) or to a syslog server.

15.1.1 Alerts and Logs

An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. They include system errors,
attacks (access control) and attempted access to blocked web sites. Some categories such as
System Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the
View Log screen. Alerts display in red and logs display in black.

15.2 Configuring Log Settings

Use the Log Settings screen to configure to where the Prestige is to send logs; the schedule for
when the Prestige is to send the logs and which logs and/or immediate alerts the Prestige is to
record. See
To change your Prestige's log settings, click Logs, then the Log Settings. The screen appears
as shown.
Alerts are e-mailed as soon as they happen. Logs may be e-mailed as soon as the log is full.
Selecting many alert and/or log categories (especially Access Control) may result in many e-
mails being sent.
