The log level values are:

• 1 - Emergency

•2 - Alert

• 3 - Critical

• 4 - Error

• 5 - Warning

•6 - Notice

• 7 - Information

• 8 - Trace

You can also configure the appliance to post log data to a remote syslog server. Syslog is a comprehensive

logging system that is used to manage information generated by the kernel and system utilities in your

network. Syslog enables you to sort messages based on their source or their importance, and also enables

you to route messages to other destinations within your network. When the syslog functionality is

enabled, all events that are stored in the Audit Trail will also be forwarded to a remote syslog host for

logging to a user-specified syslog facility.

When this task is selected, the following fields appear in the Action pane:

To enable logging of events to a remote syslog host type in the Hostname field the IP Address or

Hostname of the remote syslog server. If the remote syslog server is using a port other that 514 for syslog

communications, type in the Port field the appropriate port number. When you are finished, Click OK to

save any changes to the appliance. Click Cancel to close this window without saving any changes.

Note

NetBotz strongly recommends a minimum Log Level of 6 - Notice. This will

ensure that log messages that are associated with alerts are recorded in the Audit

Trail.

Field Description

Global Level The Global Level setting determines the global level of logging

that will be displayed on the Audit Page. By default, all

components will log at the level specified by the Global Level

setting. The lower you set the logging level, the less thorough

the logging will be.

Component Log Levels This selection list contains a list of all available components or

functions for which logging is available. By default, each

component will log at the level specified by the Global Level

setting. To specify a component-specific log setting, select the

Level drop box/field beside the desired component and then

select the desired log level for the component.

Hostname Type in this field the IP address or hostname of the remote

system that is acting as the syslog host system.

Port Type in this field the TCP port number used by the remote

syslog server for syslog communications. Default is 514.
