23.1 Overview

Device send them to an administrator (as e-mail) or to a syslog server.

• Use the View Log screen ( Section 23.2 on page 391 ) to see the logs for the
categories that you selected in the Log Settings screen.
• Use The Log Settings screen ( Section 23.3 on page 392 ) to configure to where
the ZyXEL Device is to send logs; the schedule for when the ZyXEL Device is to
send the logs and which logs and/or immediate alerts the ZyXEL Device is to
record.
23.1.2 What You Need To Know About Logs
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.
23.2 The View Log Screen
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
Section 23.3 on page 392 ).
