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.
