FIREWALL LOGGING

This chapter summarizes firewall logging commands in the CLI command structure.

The firewall uses logging to send system messages to one or more logging destinations, where they

can be collected, archived and reviewed.

Set the logging level to define which messages are sent to each of the target destinations.

Logging messages can be sent to any of the following destinations:

• The firewall console

• Telnet or SSH session to the firewall

• A temporary buffer internal to the firewall

• Syslog server

• E-mail addresses

• An FTP server
