Working with log files
The Firebox is continually writing messages to log files on the LiveSecurity Event
Processor. Because current log files are always open, they cannot be copied, moved,
or merged using traditional copy tools; you should use LiveSecurity Event Processor
utilities to work with active log files.
Unlike with other Firebox System utilities, you cannot access the LiveSecurity Event
Processor user interface from Control Center. To open the Event Processor user
interface:
• Right-click the Event Processor icon in the Windows system tray and select
Open Log Center.
Consolidating logs from multiple locations
You can merge two or more log files into a single file. This merged file can then be
used with Historical Reports, LogViewer, HostWatch, or some other utility to
examine log data covering an extended period of time. From the LiveSecurity Event
Processor:
1 Select File => Copy or Merge Log Files.
2 Click Merge all files to one file. Enter the name of the merged file.
3 Enter the files to merge in the Files to Copy box.
