15.2 Log Settings

You can configure the HomeSafe’s general log settings in one location.

Click the LOGS in the navigation panel and then the Log Settings tab to open the Log Settings
screen.

Use the Log Settings screen to configure to where the HomeSafe is to send logs; the schedule for
when the HomeSafe is to send the logs and which logs and/or immediate alerts the HomeSafe to
send.

An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. They include system errors, attacks
(access control) and attempted access to blocked web sites or web sites with restricted web
features such as cookies, active X and so on. Some categories such as System Errors consist of
both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the View Log screen. Alerts
display in red and logs display in black.

Alerts are e-mailed as soon as they happen. Logs may be e-mailed as soon as the log is full (see
Log Schedule). Selecting many alert and/or log categories (especially Access Control) may
result in many e-mails being sent
