Logging Status - D-Link NetDefend SOHO DFL-160 User Manual

6.2. Logging Status

6.2. Logging Status
Various events that occur in NetDefendOS cause log messages to created. All possible log messages
generated are documented in the accompanying DFL-160 Log Reference Guide. An external SysLog
server can be configured to receive these events, as described in Section 3.5, "Logging". That
section also describes setting up email alerts for certain events.
As events occur, the last 500 log general messages are kept in local memory and this store is known
as the NetDefendOS MemLog. Along with these 500, the last 500 from each of the Anti-Virus, Web
Content Filtering and IDP subsystems are also kept in memory and these can be viewed separately.
The MemLog Display
The most recent 500 log messages from all sources (including AV, WCF and IDP) can be viewed
through the Logging page of the Status menu.
Log messages are visible in 100 message blocks on the page and tools are also provided for filtering
out messages of interest based on various criteria. The dialog for entering the search criteria are
shown below.
Some typical log output for the Anti-Virus subsystem is shown below.
