The firewall logs security-related events such as denied incoming and outgoing service requests,
hacker probes, and administrator logins. If you enable content filtering in the Block Sites menu,
the Log page will also show you when someone on your network tried to access a blocked site. If
you enabled e-mail notification, you will receive these logs in an e-mail message. If you don't have
e-mail notification enabled, you can view the logs, as well as e-mail the logs by clicking the View
Log link on the Firewall Logs & E-mail screen.
Note: You can configure the firewall to send system logs to an external PC that is
running a syslog logging program. Logging programs are available for
Windows, Macintosh, and Linux computers.
