2.2.4. Advanced Log Settings
Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance
Send Limit
This setting limits how many log packets NetDefendOS may send out per second. This value should
never be set too low, as this may result in important events not being logged, nor should it be set too
high.
A situation where setting too high a value may cause damage is when NetDefendOS sends a log
message to a server whose log receiver is not active. The server will send back an ICMP
Unreachable message, which may cause NetDefendOS to send another log message, which in turn
will result in another ICMP Unreachable message, and so on. By limiting the number of log
messages NetDefendOS sends every second, the administrator can avoid encountering such an
undesirable situation where bandwidth is consumed unnecessarily.
Default: 3600 (once per hour)
Alarm Repetition Interval
The delay in seconds between alarms when a continuous alarm is used. Minimum 0, Maximum
10,000.
Default: 60 (one minute)
