IP header length

Length, in octets, of the IP header for this packet. A header length that is not equal to 20 indicates that IP options were present. Default = Hide

TTL (time to live)

The value of the TTL field in the logged packet. Default = Hide

Source address

The source IP address of the logged packet. Default = Show

Destination address

The destination IP address of the logged packet. Default = Show

Source port

The source port of the logged packet. UDP or TCP only. Default = Show

Destination port

The destination port of the logged packet. UDP or TCP only. Default = Show

Details

Additional information appears after the previously described fields, including data about IP fragmentation, TCP flag bits, IP options, and source file and line number when in trace mode. If WatchGuard logging is in debug or verbose mode, additional information is reported. In addition, the type of connection may be displayed in parentheses. Default = Show

Working with log files

The Firebox is continually writing messages to log files on the LiveSecurity Event Processor. Because current log files are always open, they cannot be copied, moved, or merged using traditional copy tools; you should use LiveSecurity Event Processor utilities to work with active log files.

Unlike with other Firebox System utilities, you cannot access the LiveSecurity Event Processor user interface from Control Center. To open the Event Processor user interface:

•Right-click the Event Processor icon in the Windows system tray and select Open Log Center.

Consolidating logs from multiple locations

You can merge two or more log files into a single file. This merged file can then be used with Historical Reports, LogViewer, HostWatch, or some other utility to examine log data covering an extended period of time. From the LiveSecurity Event Processor:

1Select File => Copy or Merge Log Files.

2Click Merge all files to one file. Enter the name of the merged file.

3 Enter the files to merge in the Files to Copy box.
