Logs

This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and viewing the G- 1000 v2’s logs. Refer to the appendix for example log message explanations.

8.1 Logs Overview

The web configurator allows you to choose which categories of events and/or alerts to have the G-1000 v2 log and then display the logs or have the G-1000 v2 send them to an administrator (as e-mail) or to a syslog server.

8.1.1 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.

8.2 Viewing the Logs

Click Maintenance > Logs to open the View Log screen. Use the View Log screen to see the logs for the categories that you selected in the Log Settings screen (see “Configuring Log Settings” on page 82).

Log entries in red indicate alerts. The log wraps around and deletes the old entries after it fills. Click a column heading to sort the entries. A triangle indicates ascending or descending sort order.
