Chapter 7: Configure Logging

To adjust your syslog messages to your browsers local time:

Select Include local time in syslog message.

NOTE

Syslog traffic is not encrypted and use of this option creates a potential security risk when the information is sent over the Internet. However, if this traffic is sent through a VPN tunnel the traffic is encrypted with IPSec technology and therefore less of a security risk.

Set the System Time

The SOHO 6 stamps each log entry with the time that the event occurred.

The log entry time stamp displays the time of day according to the settings for the system time.

To set the system time:

1With your Web browser, go to the System Status page using the

Trusted IP address of the SOHO 6.

For example, if using the default IP address, go to: http://192.168.111.1.

2From the navigation bar on the left side, select Logging => System Time.
