Link: Syslog Parameters

You can configure a UNIX-compatible syslog client to report a number of subsets of the events entered in the Gateway’s WAN Event History. Syslog sends log-messages to a host that you specify.

To enable syslog logging, click on the Syslog Parameters link.

Check the Syslog checkbox.

The screen expands.

•Syslog: Enable syslog logging in the system.

•Syslog Host Name/IP Address: Enter the name or the IP Address of the host that should receive sys- log messages.

•Facility: From the pull-down menu, select the Syslog facility to be used by the router when generating syslog messages. Options are local0 through local7.

•Log Violations: If you check this checkbox, the Gateway will generate messages whenever a packet is discarded because it violates the router's security policy.

•Log Access Attempts: If you check this checkbox, the Gateway will generate messages whenever a packet attempts to access the router or tries to pass through the router. This option is disabled by default.

•Log Accepted Packets: If you check this checkbox, the Gateway will generate messages whenever a packet accesses the router or passes through the router. This option is disabled by default.

☛NOTE:

Syslog needs to be enabled to comply with logging requirements mentioned in The Modular Firewall Certification Criteria - Baseline Module - version 4.1 (specified by ICSA Labs).
