2 From the navigation bar, click Logging > WSEP Logging.
The WatchGuard Security Event Processor Logging page appears.
3 The Enable WatchGuard Security Event Processor Logging check box
must contain a check mark. If it does not, click it.
4 In the Log Host IP Address field, type the IP address of the Log Server.
5 Type a passphrase in the Log Encryption Key field and confirm the
passphrase in the Confirm Key field.
6 In the Device Name field, type a name for the Firebox X Edge.
This name lets the Log Server know which log messages come from which device.
If this field is clear, the Firebox X Edge is identified to the Log Server by the IP
address of the Firebox external interface.
7 Click Submit.
NOTE
Use the same log encryption key that the Log Server uses.
Logging to a Syslog Host
Syslog is a log interface developed for UNIX but also used by a number of
computer systems. This option sends the Firebox® X Edge log messages to a
Syslog host. If you use a Syslog host, you can set the Edge to send log mes-
sages to that host.
