Setting The Log Encryption Key; Setting Global Logging And Notification Preferences - Watchguard Firebox X1000 User Manual

Setting the log encryption key

The log connection (but not the log file) between the Fire-
box and a log host is encrypted for security purposes. Both
the management station and the WSEP application must
have the same encryption key.
You must enter an encryption key for the log host to receive
logs from the Firebox. It must be the same key used when
adding a WSEP application to the management station.
From the WatchGuard Security Event Processor user inter-
face:
1 Select File = > Set Log Encryption Key.
2
Enter the log encryption key in both text boxes. Click
OK.
Setting Global Logging and Notification
Preferences
The WatchGuard Security Event Processor lists the con-
nected Firebox and displays its status. It has three control
areas, which are used as follows:
Log Files tab
Reports tab
Notification tab
Together, these controls set the general parameters for most
global event processing and notification properties.
