4 Logging and Alerts

This chapter describes the SonicWALL Internet Security appliance logging, alerting, and
reporting features, which can be viewed in the Log section of the SonicWALL Web Management
Interface.There are four tabs in the Log section:
• View Log
• Log Settings
• Reports
• ViewPoint (requires a purchased upgrade)
View Log
The SonicWALL maintains an Event log which displays potential security threats. This log can
be viewed with a browser using the SonicWALL Web Management Interface, or it can be
automatically sent to an e-mail address for convenience and archiving. The log is displayed in
a table and is sortable by column.
The SonicWALL can alert you of important events, such as an attack to the SonicWALL. Alerts
are immediately e-mailed, either to an e-mail address or to an e-mail pager. Each log entry
contains the date and time of the event and a brief message describing the event.
Click Log on the left side of the browser window, and then click View Log.
