CHAPTER 19
Logs
19.1 Overview
This chapter contains information about viewing the ZyXEL Device’s logs.
The web configurator allows you to choose which types of events and/or alerts to have the ZyXEL
Device log and then display the logs.
19.1.1 What You Need To Know About Logs
Alerts
An alert is a message that is enabled as soon as the event occurs. They include system errors,
attacks (access control) and attempted access to blocked web sites. Some categories such as
System Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the
View Log screen. Alerts display in red and logs display in black.
Logs
A log is a message about an event that occurred on your ZyXEL Device. For example, when
someone logs in to the ZyXEL Device, you can set a schedule for how often logs should be enabled,
or sent to a syslog server.
19.2 The System Log Screen
Use the System Log screen to configure and view the logs you wish to display.
To change your ZyXEL Device’s log settings, click Maintenance > Logs > Log Settings. The
screen appears as shown.
