Items to include in the log:
• Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Selecting all events
will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really

• Selecting an event under Include In Log will enable logging of messages pertaining to that
event. Ex: Selecting Admin Login, will enable generation of log messages whenever Admin
logs in.

event. This category typically contains Internet Attack events. Ex: Selecting SYN Flood, will
enable generation of Alert messages whenever SYN Flood occurs.
