Logs

20.1 Overview

This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and viewing the NBG-417N’s logs.

The Web Configurator allows you to look at all of the NBG-417N’s logs in one location.

20.2 What You Can Do

Use the View Log screen (Section 20.4 on page 178) to see the logs for the categories such as system maintenance, system errors, access control, allowed or blocked web sites, blocked web features, and so on.

20.3 What You Need to Know

An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. They include system errors, attacks (access control) and attempted access to blocked web sites or web sites with restricted web features such as cookies, active X and so on. Some categories such as System Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the View Log screen. Alerts display in red and logs display in black.

Alerts are e-mailed as soon as they happen. Logs may be e-mailed as soon as the log is full (see Log Schedule). Selecting many alert and/or log categories (especially Access Control) may result in many e-mails being sent.
