A lone Log Server always resides on the Policy Server machine.
Log Relays resident on each device receive the following types information, which is then collected
from the relays by the Log Server, and routed to appropriate locations: Web transaction
information from the Scanner, system message information from the System log, and Audit message
information.
By default, the Log Server sends this information to the Log file and the Reports file, both of which are
internal files. However, depending on the Logging Policy definition, the Log Server can also:
• send Scanner, System log and/or Audit information to the Syslog file
• and/or send Scanner information to an Archive (zip) file.
