Log Screens
13.1 Overview
This chapter provides information on viewing and generating logs on your ZyXEL Device.
Logs are files that contain recorded network activity over a set period. They are used by
administrators to monitor the health of the system(s) they are managing. Logs enable
administrators to effectively monitor events, errors, progress, etc. so that when network
problems or system failures occur, the cause or origin can be traced. Logs are also essential for
auditing and keeping track of changes made by users.
Figure 58 Accessing Logs in the Network
The figure above illustrates three ways to access logs. The user (U) can access logs directly
from the ZyXEL Device (A) via the Web configurator. Logs can also be located in an external
log server (B). An email server (C) can also send harvested logs to the user’s email account.
13.2 What You Can Do in the Log Screens
•
Use the View Log screen (
) to display all logs or logs for
a certain category.
You can view logs and alert messages in this page. Once the log
entries are all used, the log will wrap around and the old logs will be deleted.
•
Use the Log Settings screen (
) to configure where and
when the ZyXEL Device will send the logs, and which logs and/or immediate
alerts it will send.
