3. Local Log and Remote Log

The gateway builds a log of firewall blocking actions that Firewall has taken. Using the Local Log
page lets you specify an email address to which you want the gateway to email this log. You must also
tell the gateway your outgoing (i.e. SMTP) email server's name, so it can direct the email to it. Enable
Email Alerts has the gateway forward email notices when Firewall protection events occur. Click E-mail
Log to immediately send the email log. Click Clear Log to clear the table of entries for a fresh start.
The log of these events is also visible on the screen. For each blocking event type that has taken place
since the table was last cleared, the table shows Description, Count, Last Occurrence, Target, and Source.

The Remote Log page allows you to specify the IP address where a SysLog server is located and select
different types of firewall events that may occur. Then, each time such an event occurs, notification is
automatically sent to this log server.
