Configuring Global Log Settings Parent topic

Procedure

  1. Go to Logs & ReportsLog Settings.
  2. Under Log Options, select the check box(es) for the violation types to log.
    Note
    Note
    Enable violation logs for additional information about traffic activity or for troubleshooting. Disabling violation logs may improve performance.
  3. Select the Enable traffic log check box to enable traffic statistics logging.
    Note
    Note
    Turning on the traffic log consumes much more storage than the violation logs alone. Use a syslog server to offload the logs from the box if Administrators want to keep logs longer.
  4. Set the following limits as needed:
    Option Description
    Limit storage usage for violation log(GB) Default: 2GB
    Limit storage usage for traffic log(GB) Default: 7GB
  5. If needed, change the purge value for the number of days to retain logs before deleting logs.
    Note
    Note
    Setting the value to less than 62 days may prevent monthly report generation. Setting the value to more than 62 days could cause the accumulated data size to affect performance. Older logs are automatically removed when the logs exceed the size limitation.
  6. If needed, select the Enable syslog and forward all logs to syslog server check box.
  7. Specify the IP address and port number to forward syslogs.
  8. Click Apply.
