Controlling notification
Notification occurs when the Firebox sends an email mes-
sage, pops up a window on the log host, dials a pager, or
executes a program to notify an administrator that the Fire-
box has detected a triggering event. Use the WSEP applica-
tion to control when and to whom such notifications are
sent. From the WatchGuard Security Event Processor inter-
face:
1
Click the
Notification
tab.
The Notification tab information appears, as shown in the
following figure.
2
Modify the settings according to your security policy
preferences.
For more information on individual settings, right-click the
setting, and then select What’s This?. You can also refer to the
“Field Definitions” chapter in the Reference Guide.

files. If you do not specify a name, the Firebox’s IP address
is used. From Policy Manager:

Select
Setup
=>
Name

The Firebox Name dialog box appears.
