13.2 Device Logging Options

Use the Logging Options screen to configure to where the ZyXEL device is to send logs; the
schedule for when the ZyXEL device is to send the logs and which logs and/or immediate
alerts the ZyXEL device is to send.
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 or web sites with restricted
web features such as cookies, active X and so on. Some categories such as System Errors
consist of both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the Device screen.
Alerts display in red and logs display in black.
Alerts are e-mailed as soon as they happen. Logs may be e-mailed as soon as the log is full
(see Log Schedule). Selecting many alert and/or log categories (especially Access Control)
may result in many e-mails being sent.
To change a ZyXEL devices log settings, select a device, click Configuration > Device Log
and then click the Log Settings tab. The screen appears as shown next.
