13.3 What You Need To Know About Logs
Alerts and Logs
An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. Some categories such as System
Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You can differentiate them by their color in the View
Log screen. Alerts are displayed in red and logs are displayed in black.
Receiving Logs via E-mail
If you want to receive logs in your e-mail account, you need to have the necessary details
ready, such as the Server Name or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Address of your e-
mail account. Ensure that you have a valid e-mail address.
Enabling Syslog Logging
To enable Syslog Logging, obtain your Syslog server’s IP address (or server name).
