The appliance provides configurable system logging features for viewing the
system logs and monitoring system status.

Managing logging

The firewall, IDS, IPS, VPN, content filtering, and AVpe features of the product
log messages when certain events occur. You can configure which events are
logged so that you view only the log messages that you need.
You can view these log messages through the SGMI, or forward them to external
services. Log messages are maintained until the appliance is restarted. On all
appliances, the 100 most current messages are available to view. On models 360
and 360R, the most current 100 log events are maintained, even if the appliance
is restarted.
When the log is full, new entries overwrite the oldest ones. You should set up
either email forwarding or a Syslog server if you want to retain old log messages.
