CHAPTER 6
What is Logging?
Logging is the act of recording “events” that occur at the SOHO
interfaces. An event is any single activity, such as communication
with the WatchGuard Feature Key Server or the WatchGuard
WebBlocker database and incoming traffic passing through the
SOHO.
Logging is intended to record the kinds of activities that can
indicate security concerns–most importantly denied packets.
Certain patterns of denied packets can indicate the type of attack
that is being attempted.
Viewing SOHO log messages
The WatchGuard SOHO generates an ongoing activity log stored
on the SOHO: The Event Log. This log stores a maximum of 150
messages. When it reaches its maximum, the oldest message is
deleted.
