Log

The Security Bandwidth Manager supports traffic logging and event logging to monitor and
record services, connection times, and the source and destination network address. The
Administrator may also download the log files for backup purposes. The Administrator mainly
uses the Log menu to monitor the traffic passing through the Security Bandwidth Manager.

What is Log?

Log records all connections that pass through the Security Bandwidth Manager’s control
policies. Traffic log’s parameters are setup when setting up control policies. Traffic logs record
the details of packets such as the start and stop time of connection, the duration of connection,
the source address, the destination address and services requested, for each control policy.
Event logs record the contents of System Configuration changes made by the Administrator
such as the time of change, settings that change, the IP address used to log on, etc.

How to use the Log

The Administrator can use the log data to monitor and manage the device and the networks.
The Administrator can view the logged data to evaluate and troubleshoot the network, such as
pinpointing the source of traffic congestions.
