This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and
viewing the NBG-460N's logs. Refer to
log message explanations.
The Web Configurator allows you to look at all of the NBG-460N's logs in one
location.

21.2 What You Can Do

categories such as system maintenance, system errors, access control, allowed
or blocked web sites, blocked web features, and so on.
• Use the Log Settings screen
the NBG-460N sends logs, the schedule for when the NBG-460N sends the logs
and which logs and/or immediate alerts the NBG-460N to send.

21.3 What You Need to Know

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 View Log 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.
