Configuring Syslog Logging
You can configure the Safe@Office appliance to send event logs to a Syslog server
residing in your internal network or on the Internet. The logs detail the date and the time
each event occurred. If the event is a communication attempt that was rejected by the
firewall, the event details include the source and destination IP address, the destination
port, and the protocol used for the communication attempt (for example, TCP or UDP).
This same information is also available in the Event Log page (see Viewing the Event Log
on page 339). However, while the Event Log can display hundreds of logs, a Syslog server
can store an unlimited nu
mber of logs. Furthermore, Syslog servers can provide useful
tools for managing your logs.
Note: Kiwi Syslog Daemon is freeware and can be downloaded from
http://www.kiwisyslog.com. For technical support, contact Kiwi Enterprises.
To configure Syslog logging
