Monitoring NAT Service
You might want to monitor your NAT service for troubleshooting and security. This section describes the NAT status overview and monitoring NAT divert activity.
Viewing the NAT Status Overview
The NAT status overview allows you to see if the service is running, and how many protocol links are active.
To see the overview:
1In Server Admin, choose NAT Service from the Computers & Services list.
2Click the Overview button.
Viewing NAT Activity
When the NAT service is running, it creates a packet divert filter in the IP Firewall service. You can view NAT packet divert events which have been logged by the firewall service. The logs are useful for network troubleshooting and configuration. To troubleshoot NAT, you should create the rule manually and enable logging for the packets allowed by the rule.
