Costs and CO

emissions vary greatly by energy source and distribution network. You can obtain a rough
estimate by choosing your country from the Location drop-down box, or use the “(edit)” link to input your own
cost and emissions data.
Editing a location creates a custom location and does not alter the default figures for that location. For
example, if you choose IE-Ireland from the drop-down list and subsequently use edit to change data, then an
entry called Custom (IE-Ireland) is created at the top of the drop-down list.
Firewall Log
Path: Logs > Firewall
If you create a firewall policy, firewall events will be logged here. For more information on implementing a
policy, see “Firewall screens”.
