Logs Screens
This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and viewing the
Prestige's logs. Refer to the appendix for example log message explanations.

19.1 Logs Overview

The web configurator allows you to choose which categories of events and/or alerts to have the Prestige log
and then display the logs or have the Prestige send them to an administrator (as e-mail) or to a syslog server.
19.1.1 Alerts and Logs
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. 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.

19.2 Configuring Log Settings

Use the Log Settings screen to configure to where the Prestige is to send logs; the schedule for when the
Prestige is to send the logs and which logs and/or immediate alerts the Prestige is to record.
To change your Prestige's log settings, click Logs, then Log Settings. The screen appears as shown.
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.
