Items to include in the log:

Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Selecting all events will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really required.

Selecting an event under Include In Log will enable logging of messages pertaining to that event. Ex: Selecting Admin Login, will enable generation of log messages whenever Admin logs in.

Selecting an event under Include In Alerts will enable logging of messages pertaining to that event. This category typically contains Internet Attack events. Ex: Selecting SYN Flood, will enable generation of Alert messages whenever SYN Flood occurs.

In the Log / Alert Email box, type the e-mail address where the logs and alerts will be sent. Use a full e-mail address (for example, ChrisXY@myISP.com).
