Change logging settings
You can enable or disable logging for the server, and define where the server will send log messages.
To open the configuration dialog box:
1. Right-click the icon for the server and select Configure.
2. Type the management server passphrase when prompted.
3. From the dialog box that appears, click the Logging tab.

Enable or disable logging

If you want the server to send log messages to one or more WatchGuard Log Servers, select the Enable log
messages to WatchGuard log server check box.

Add or prioritize Log Servers

1. If you want to add Log Servers for the server, click Add.
2. You can create a priority list for Log Servers. If the Firebox cannot connect to the Log Server with the
highest priority, it connects to the next Log Server in the priority list. If the Firebox examines each Log
Server in the list and cannot connect, it tries to connect to the first Log Server in the list again. To
change the priority list, select a Log Server from the list and click the Up and Down buttons.
3. With the Select a log level drop-down list, you can assign a level to the log messages sent by the
server: Error, Warning, Informational, or Debug.

Send messages to the Windows Event Viewer

Event Viewer is a Windows program that keeps records of events that occur in the applications running on
your computer. To control whether the server sends messages to this program, use the Send the log
messages to Windows event viewer check box.
Use the Select a log level drop-down list to assign a level to the log messages sent by the server to the Event
Viewer: Error, Warning, Informational, or Debug.

Send messages to a file

To control whether the server sends log messages to a file, use the Send the log messages to a file check box.
Define the location of the file to receive the log message, and use the Select a log level drop-down list to
assign a level to the log messages.
