Enabling logging options may generate a significant volume of log messages and
is recommended for debugging purposes only.

Configuring Logging Policies

To configure general logging policies:
Choose Administration > Logging > Logging Policies.
The Logging Policy Table shows the types of logging that are configured on the
system. To add a new type of logging, click Add.
Enter a name for the policy.
(Optional) Check Enable to log IPSec VPN events.
In the table, select the type of logs to capture for each severity. For example, you
might want to log all types of events that have a severity level of "Emergency," so
you would check System, Kernel, and Wireless under "Emergency."
Click Save.

Configuring Firewall Logs

To configure firewall logs:
Choose Administration > Logging > Firewall Logs.
Under the type of routing logs, check the box to choose one or both of the
following for each type:
• Accepted Packets—Check this box to log packets that were successfully
transferred through the segment. This option is useful when the Default
Outbound Policy is "Block" (see
page 79). For example, if Accept Packets is checked for LAN to WAN and
there is a firewall rule to allow ssh traffic from the LAN, then whenever a LAN
machine tries to make an ssh connection, those packets will be accepted
and a message will be logged. (Make sure the log option is set to allow for
this firewall rule.)
