21.3 Configuring Log Settings

To change your ZyWALL's log settings, click LOGS > Log Settings. The screen appears as

Use the Log Settings screen to configure to where the ZyWALL is to send logs; the schedule

for when the ZyWALL is to send the logs and which logs and/or immediate alerts the

ZyWALL 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 View Log

screen. Alerts display in red and logs display in black.

Note: 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.
