The Log Settings screen controls log messages and alerts. A log message stores the information for
viewing or regular e-mailing later, and an alert is e-mailed immediately. Usually, alerts are used for
events that require more serious attention, such as system errors and attacks.
The Log Settings Edit screens control what information the SBG saves in each log. You can also specify
which log messages to e-mail for the system log, and where and how often to e-mail them. These
screens also set for which events to generate alerts and where to email the alerts.
