CHAPTER 13
Reviewing and
Working with Log
Files
Log files are a valuable tool for monitoring your net-
work, identifying potential attacks, and taking action
to address security threats and challenges. This chap-
ter describes the procedures you use to work with log
files, including viewing log files, searching for entries
in them, and consolidating and copying logs.
The WatchGuard Security Event Processor (WSEP)
controls logging, report schedules, and notification. It
also provides timekeeping services for the Firebox. For
more information about the WatchGuard Security
Event Processor and configuring logging, see Chapter
12, “Setting Up Logging and Notification.”
For more information on specific log messages, see the
