Email Notifications of Event Logs and Alerts

The firewall logs can be configured to log and then email denial of access, general attack information, and other information to a specified email address. For example, your VPN firewall will log security-related events such as: accepted and dropped packets on different segments of your LAN; denied incoming and outgoing service requests; hacker probes and login attempts; and other general information based on the settings that you enter on the Firewall Logs & E-mail screen. In addition, if you have set up content filtering on the Block Sites screen (see “Blocking Internet Sites (Content Filtering)” on page 4-30), a log will be generated when someone on your network tries to access a blocked site.

To configure email or syslog notification, or to view the logs, see “Activating Notification of Events and Alerts” on page 6-23.
