Logs Screens
15.1 Overview
This chapter contains information about configuring general log settings and viewing the
ZyXEL Device’s logs. Refer to the appendix for example log message explanations.
The web configurator allows you to choose which categories of events and/or alerts to have
the ZyXEL Device log and then display the logs or have the ZyXEL Device send them to an
administrator (as e-mail) or to a syslog server.
15.1.1 What You Can Do in the Log Screens
• Use the Log Settings screen ( Section 15.2 on page 151 ) to configure the mail server, the
syslog server, when to send logs, and what logs to send.
• Use the View Logs screen ( Section 15.3 on page 153 ) to see the logs for the categories that
you selected in the Log Settings screen.
15.1.2 What You Need to Know About Logs
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 ZyXEL Device. For example, when
someone logs in to the ZyXEL Device, you can set a schedule for how often logs should be
enabled, or sent to a syslog server.
15.2 The Log Settings Screen
Use the Log Settings screen 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.
To change your ZyXEL Device’s log settings, click
Logs , then the Log Settings . The screen
appears as shown.
