Viewing the Local System Log

The system log contains debugging information that may be useful in determining whether all services for
your UTM Firewall appliance are operating correctly. Every message recorded by a service on the appliance
has an associated logging level such as "Debug" or "Warning". By default, all log level messages are posted
to the System Log. You can filter the displayed messages or reset the default filtering level. The Local
System Log is stored in the /var/log/messages directory. The appliance rotates and ages the messages file.
Only one copy of the file is kept in the directory.
Log output is color-coded by output type. General information and debug output is black, warnings and
notices are blue, and errors are red.
