Customizing Logging And Notification - Watchguard Firebox X1000 User Manual

Chapter 8: Configuring Filtered Services

Customizing logging and notification

The WatchGuard Firebox System allows you to create cus-
tom logging and notification properties for each filtered
service, proxied service, and blocking option. This level of
flexibility allows you to fine-tune your security policies,
logging only those events that require your attention and
limiting notification to truly high-priority events.
You use the Logging and Notification dialog box to config-
ure the services, blocking categories, and packet handling
options you want. Consequently, once you master the con-
trols for one type of service, the remainder are easy to con-
figure.
From the Properties dialog box:
1 Click the Incoming tab.

Click Logging.
The Logging and Notification dialog box appears, as shown in the
following figure.
