18.1 Overview
This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and
viewing the P-660H-T1v3s’s logs.
The web configurator allows you to choose which categories of events and/or
alerts to have the P-660H-T1v3s log and then display the logs or have the P-660H-
T1v3s send them to an administrator (as e-mail) or to a syslog server.
18.1.1 What You Can Do in the Log Screens
Use the System Log screen ( Section 18.2 on page 178 ) to see the logs for the
categories that you selected in the Log Settings screen.
18.1.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Alerts
An alert is a message that is enabled as soon as the event occurs. 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.
Logs
A log is a message about an event that occurred on your P-660H-T1v3s. For
example, when someone logs in to the P-660H-T1v3s, you can set a schedule for
how often logs should be enabled, or sent to a syslog server.
