Chapter 14 Log Screens

14.3 What You Need To Know

Alerts and Logs

An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. Some categories such as System Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You can differentiate them by their color in the View Log screen. Alerts are displayed in red and logs are displayed in black.

Receiving Logs via E-mail

If you want to receive logs in your e-mail account, you need to have the necessary details ready, such as the Server Name or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Address of your e-mail account. Ensure that you have a valid e-mail address.

Enabling Syslog Logging

To enable Syslog Logging, obtain your Syslog server’s IP address (or server name).
