24.1 Overview
This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and
viewing the MWR211's logs. Refer to the appendices for example log message
explanations.
The Web Configurator allows you to look at all of the MWR211's logs in one
location.
24.2 What You Can Do
Use the View Log screen to see the logs for the categories such as system
maintenance, system errors, access control, allowed or blocked web sites,
blocked web features, and so on.
24.3 What You Need to Know
An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. They include
system errors, attacks (access control) and attempted access to blocked web
sites or web sites with restricted web features such as cookies, active X and so
on. Some categories such as System Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You
may differentiate them by their color in the View Log screen. Alerts display in
red and logs display in black.
Alerts are e-mailed as soon as they happen. Logs may be e-mailed as soon as the
log is full (see Log Schedule). Selecting many alert and/or log categories
(especially Access Control) may result in many e-mails being sent.
24.4 Password Screen
Use the View Log screen to see the logged messages for the MWR211. Options
include logs about system maintenance, system errors, access control, allowed or
blocked web sites, blocked web features (such as ActiveX controls, Java and
cookies), attacks (such as DoS) and IPSec.
Log entries in red indicate system error logs. The log wraps around and deletes
the old entries after it fills. Click a column heading to sort the entries. A triangle
indicates ascending or descending sort order.
