What to Include in Event Log

Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Checking all options will
increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really
required.
• Known DoS attacks and Port Scans - If checked, Denial of Service attacks, as well as port
scans, will be logged.
• Attempted access to blocked sites - If checked, the router will log attempts to access sites
which are blocked by the "Block Sites" filter.
