Syslog

You can configure the firewall to send system logs to an external PC that is running a syslog
logging program. Enter the IP address of the logging PC and click the Enable Syslog checkbox.

Logging programs are available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers.

Viewing Logs of Web Access or Attempted Web Access

The firewall will log security-related events such as denied incoming and outgoing service
requests, hacker probes, and administrator logins.

If you enable content filtering in the Block Sites menu, the Log page will also show you when
someone on your network tried to access a blocked site.

If you enabled e-mail notification, you'll receive these logs in an e-mail message.

If you don't have e-mail notification enabled, you can view the logs here.
