View Log
The SonicWALL maintains an Event log which displays potential security threats. This log can be
viewed with a browser using the SonicWALL Web Management Interface, or it can be automatically
sent to an e-mail address for convenience and archiving. The log is displayed in a table and is
sortable by column.
The SonicWALL can alert you of important events, such as an attack to the SonicWALL. Alerts are
immediately e-mailed, either to an e-mail address or to an e-mail pager. Each log entry contains the
date and time of the event and a brief message describing the event.
