Viewing the Security Log
The Security Log displays security-related events, including the following:
• Connections logged by firewall rules
• Connections logged by VStream Antivirus
• Connection logged by VStream Antispam
• Security events logged by SmartDefense
• Web sites blocked by Web rules or the centralized Web Filtering service
This information is useful for troubleshooting. You can export the logs to an *.xls
(Microsoft Excel) file, and then store it for analysis purposes or send it to technical
support.
Note: You can configure the Safe@Office appliance to send event and security logs
to a Syslog server. For information, see Configuring Syslog Logging on page 726.
