Log Classes
Log classes determine the handling of traffic logs, other event logs and alarms. You can select no logging, log to a local file (on the firewall), send the log messages via syslog to a syslog server and send the log messages as emails. When configuring logging on all other pages, you select between the different log classes defined here.
Name
Here, you give the log class a Name.
Log locally?
Select to save log messages to a local file on the firewall. Locally saved logs can be searched on the Display Log page. Yes will cause the log messages using this log class to be saved to file. No will cause the log messages not to be saved on the firewall and thus also not possible to search under Display Log.
Syslog
Syslog sends log messages to a syslog server. You enter the IP address of the syslog server on the Syslog Configuration page. Select Facility and Level for the syslog message. See your syslog server manual for more information on facility and level. Selecting None for both Facility and Level turns the syslog alternative off. None must be selected for both or none of Facility and Level. The firewall will display a red warning text until both or none of them are None.
Email address
The firewall may also send the log messages by email to one or more email addresses. Enter the addresses here (separated by comma). You must specify a mail server on the Email Configuration page for the firewall to send the emails properly.
