LOGGING AND ALERTING
This chapter describes the SonicWALL's logging, alerting and reporting features, which
may be viewed in the Log section of the SonicWALL Web Management Interface.
View Log
The SonicWALL maintains an Event log which displays potential security threats. This
log may be viewed with a browser using the SonicWALL Web Management Interface,
or it may be automatically sent to an E-mail address for convenience and archiving.
The SonicWALL can also alert you of important events, such as an attack to the
SonicWALL. Alerts are immediately E-mailed, either to an E-mail address or to an E-
mail pager.
Click Log on the left side of the browser window, and then click the View Log tab at
the top of the window.
The log is displayed in a table and is sortable by column. Depending on your Web
browser, you should be able to copy entries from the log and paste them into
documents. Or you may use the E-mail Log function to E-mail the SonicWALL event log.
Each log entry contains the date and time of the event and a brief message describing
the event. Some log entries contain additional information.
