Logs
Logs are files where history of certain events performed through or detected by WinRoute are
recorded and kept. Each log is displayed in a window in the Logs section.
Each event is represented by one record line. Each line starts with a time mark in brackets (date
and time when the event took place, in seconds). This mark is followed by an information,
depending on the log type. If the record includes a URL, it is displayed as a hypertext link.

Optionally, records of each log may be recorded in files on the local disk
7
and/or on the Syslog
server.
Locally, the logs are saved in the files under the
logs
subdirectory where WinRoute is installed.
The file names have this pattern:
file_name.log
(e.g.
debug.log
). Each log includes an
.idx
file, i.e. an indexing file allowing faster access to
the log when displayed in Administration Console .
Individual logs can be rotated — after a certain time period or when a threshold of the file size
is reached, log files are stored and new events are logged to a new (empty) file.
Administration Console allows to save a selected log (or its part) in a file as plaintext or in
HTML. The log saved can be analyzed by various tools, published on web servers, etc.
22.1 Log settings
Log parameters (file names, rotation, sending to a Syslog server) can be set in the Configuration
→
Accounting section. In this section of the guide an overview of all logs used by WinRoute
are provided.
Double-click on a selected log (or select a log and click on the Edit button) to open a dialog
where parameters for the log can be set.
Note: If the log is not saved in a file on the disk, only records generated since the last login to
WinRoute Firewall Engine will be shown in the Administration Console . After logout (or closing
of Administration Console ), the records will be lost.
Local disk is a disk of the computer where WinRoute is installed, not a computer where Administration Console is

running!
