This chapter describes the SonicWALL Internet security appliance logging, alerting, and reporting
features, which can be viewed in the Log section of the SonicWALL Web Management
Interface.There are four tabs in the Log section:
• View Log

View Log
The SonicWALL maintains an Event log which displays potential security threats. This log can be
viewed with a browser using the SonicWALL Web Management Interface, or it can be automatically
sent to an e-mail address for convenience and archiving. The log is displayed in a table and is
sortable by column.
The SonicWALL can alert you of important events, such as an attack to the SonicWALL. Alerts are
immediately e-mailed, either to an e-mail address or to an e-mail pager. Each log entry contains the
date and time of the event and a brief message describing the event.
