22.13 Warning Log

The Warning log displays warning messages about errors of little significance. Warnings can

display for example reports about invalid user login (invalid username or password), error in

communication of the server and Web administration interface, etc.

Events recalling warning messages in this log do not seriously affect WinRoute functionality.

However, they can point at current or possible problems. The Warning log can help if for

example a user is complaining that certain services are not working.

Each warning message is identified by its numerical code (code xxx:). The following warning

categories are defined:

1000-1999

— system warnings (e.g. an application found that is known as conflicting)

2000-2999

WinRoute configuration problems (e.g. HTTP rules require user authen-

tication, but the WWW interface is not enabled)

3000-3999

— warning from individual WinRoute modules (e.g. DHCP server, anti-virus

check, user authentication, etc.)

4000-4999

— license warnings (subscription expiration, forthcoming expiration of

WinRoute’s license, ISS OrangeWeb Filter license, or the McAfee anti-virus license)

Note: License expiration is considered to be an error and it is logged into the Error log.
