Configuring Syslog Logging

You can configure the IP60 appliance to send event logs to a Syslog server residing in your internal
network or on the Internet. The logs detail the date and the time each event occurred. If the event is a
communication attempt that was rejected by the firewall, the event details include the source and
destination IP address, the destination port, and the protocol used for the communication attempt (for
example, TCP or UDP).
This same information is also available in the Event Log page (see Viewing the Event Log on page 217).
However, while the Event Log can display hundreds of logs, a Syslog server can store an unlimited number
of logs. Furthermore, Syslog servers can provide useful tools for managing your logs.
Note: Kiwi Syslog Daemon is freeware and can be downloaded from
http://www.kiwisyslog.com. For technical support, contact Kiwi Enterprises.
Note: When managed by SmartCenter, the appliance automatically sends logs to
the SmartCenter Log Viewer using a secure protocol.
You can still configure Syslog logging if desired.
