CHAPTER 15

Logs Screens

This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and viewing the Prestige’s logs. Refer to the appendix for example log message explanations. This chapter applies to the P-660H-D.

15.1 Logs Overview

The web configurator allows you to choose which categories of events and/or alerts to have the Prestige log and then display the logs or have the Prestige send them to an administrator (as e-mail) or to a syslog server.

15.1.1 Alerts and Logs

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. 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.

15.2 Configuring Log Settings

Use the Log Settings screen to configure to where the Prestige is to send logs; the schedule for when the Prestige is to send the logs and which logs and/or immediate alerts the Prestige is to record. See Section 15.1 on page 154 for more information.

To change your Prestige’s log settings, click Logs, then the Log Settings. The screen appears as shown.

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