Configuring Logging

Configuring Logging

By default, the Secure Router OS firewall logs events to the router's event-

history log. It also creates a log for every 100 attacks it blocks and every 100

packets it matches to a policy.

To configure the event-history log, you must:

specify the priority level for events logged to the event-history

You can also:

change how many blocked attacks generate a log

change how many ACP matches generate a log

forward logs to a syslog server

forward logs to an email address or addresses

The router's event-history log is enabled by default. However, in order for the

firewall to log events to it, you must specify the priority level for logged events.

The firewall classifies events into five priority levels according to the risk

posed to your system. These levels are:

informational (0)

notification (1)

View Table 4-3 for some examples of events at various priority levels.
