0: EMERGENCY
1: ALERT
2: CRITICAL
3: ERROR
4: WARNING
5: NOTICE
6: INFO
7: DEBUG
For example, LogLevel 4 means that the logfile contains all EMERGENCY, ALERT,
CRITICAL, ERROR and WARNING notifications. NOTICE-, INFO- and DEBUG-
messages will not be recorded.
Syslog Syslog facility:
Facility
WebGate sends notifications to syslog daemon for all important operations. You
can specify the facility for these messages. Default:
The detail level of these messages depends on the settings for LogLevel .
EmailTo Email messages:
AntiVir WebGate is able to send emails with additional information (for example
about the relevant file), if it detects a virus or unwanted program. There is no
default value. In order to send emails, you must enter a recipient address. For
example,
Header analysis:
AddX
ForwardedFor
In case of a proxy chain network, a downstream proxy server can make no analysis
Header
based on the Client's IP address, because it sees all requests as coming from the
same address: from the proxy upstream. So the proxy knows only the address of its
direct communication partners' and not the address of the computer issuing the
request.
If the AddXForwardedForHeader option is active, WebGate adds a header field
(X-Forwarded-For) to the HTTP request or adds the IP address of the Client it
received the request from. In this way WebGate can forward the Client IP address
to the downstream proxy servers. These are then able to analyze the header field
and to use the included indirect data for example, for access control mechanisms
or for logging purposes.
This option could also enable the use of ACLs for a Squid proxy, which is configured
by WebGate as parent proxy. The parent proxy must certainly hold the necessary
functionality for header analysis.
