What to Include in the Event Log

Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Checking all options will
increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really
required.
• All Websites and news groups visited - If checked, all visited websites and newsgroups are
logged.
• All Incoming TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic - If checked, all incoming TCP/UDP/ICMP connections
and traffic is logged.
• All Outgoing TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic - If checked, all outgoing TCP/UDP/ICMP connections
and traffic is logged.
• Other IP traffic - If checked, all other traffic (IP packets which are not TCP, UDP, or ICMP) is
logged.
• Router operation (start up, get time, etc.) - If checked, Router operations, such as starting up
and getting the time from the Internet Time Server, are logged.
• Connection to the Web-based interface of this Router - If checked, Administrator connections
to the Web-based interface will be logged.
• Other connections and traffic to this Router - If checked, this will log traffic sent to this Router
(rather than through this Router to the Internet).
• Allow duplicate log entries - If checked, then events or packets which fall within more than
one (1) category above will have a log entry for each category in which they belong. This will
generate a large number of log entries. If unchecked, then events or packets will only be
logged once. Usually, this should be left unchecked.
Logging programs are available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers.
