18.1 Overview
This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and
viewing the P-320W v3’s logs.
Refer to the appendices for example log message explanations.
18.2 What You Can Do
• Use the View Log screen ( Section 18.4 on page 164 ) to look at all of the P-
320W v3’s logs in one location.
• Use the Log Settings screen ( Section 18.5 on page 165 ) to configure to where
the P-320W v3 is to send logs and which logs and/or immediate alerts the P-
320W v3 to send.
18.3 What You Need to Know
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 or web
sites with restricted web features such as cookies, active X and so on. Some
categories such as
System Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You may
differentiate them by their color in the View Log screen ( Section 18.4 on page
164 ). Alerts display in red and logs display in black.
Alerts are e-mailed as soon as they happen. Logs may be e-mailed as soon as the
log is full (see
Log Schedule ). Selecting many alert and/or log categories
(especially Access Control ) may result in many e-mails being sent.
