Local Log and Remote Log Web Pages (Fig. 36 and 37)
The gateway builds a log of fi rewall blocking actions that the Firewall has taken.
Using the Local Log page lets you specify an email address to which you want the gateway to
email this log. You must also tell the gateway your outgoing (i.e. SMTP) email server’s name, so
it can direct the email to it. Enable Email Alerts has the gateway forward email notices when
Firewall protection events occur. Click E-mail Log to immediately send the email log. Click Clear
Log to clear the table of entries for a fresh start.
The log of these events is also visible on the screen. For each blocking event type that has taken
place since the table was last cleared, the table shows Description, Count, Last Occurrence, Target,
and Source.
The Remote Log page allows you to specify the IP address where a SysLog server is located and
select different types of fi rewall events that may occur. Then, each time such an event occurs,
notifi cation is automatically sent to this log server.
