FIREWALL LOGGING

This chapter summarizes firewall logging commands in the CLI command structure.

The firewall uses logging to send system messages to one or more logging destinations, where they
can be collected, archived and reviewed.

Set the logging level to define which messages are sent to each of the target destinations.

Logging messages can be sent to any of the following destinations:

The firewall console

Telnet or SSH session to the firewall

A temporary buffer internal to the firewall

Syslog server

E-mail addresses

An FTP server
