By default, the UTM logs 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, content-filtering events such as attempts to access blocked sites and URLs, unwanted email content, spam attempts, and many other types of events. You can configure the UTM to email logs and alerts to a specified email address.

WARNING:

When you reboot the UTM, the logs are lost. If you want to save the logs, make sure that you configure the UTM to send the logs to a syslog server. For information about how to do this, see Configure and Activate System, Email, and Syslog Logs on page 467.

For you to receive the logs in an email message, the UTM’s email notification server needs to be configured, and email notification needs to be enabled. If the email notification server is not configured or email notification is disabled, you can still query the logs and generate log reports that you then can view on the web management interface screen or save in CSV format.

Configure the Email Notification Server

The UTM can automatically send information such as notifications and reports to the administrator. You need to configure the necessary information for sending email, such as the administrator’s email address, email server, user name, and password.

To configure the email notification server:

•Select Monitoring > Email Notification. The Email Notification screen displays. (The following figure shows an example.)
