Packet Decode and Packet Dump for the Packet Log

Below the Log Viewer are two additional data fields that provide further detail regarding the selected event. In the Packet Log, these fields are labeled Packet Decode, which provides data on the type of packet logged, and Packet Dump, which records the actual data packet.

System Log

The System log records all operational changes, such as the starting and stopping of services, detection of network applications, software configuration modifications, and software execution errors. All information provided in the System Log also appears in real-time in the Message Console. The System Log is especially useful for troubleshooting the Agent.

Icons for the System Log

When you open the System Log, icons are displayed at the left side of the first column. These are graphical representations of the kind of event logged on each line, and they provide an easy way to scan the System Log for possible system errors.
