System Logs

Logs > Log Settings | System Logs

IWSVA stores system logs on the local IWSVA server. A copy of the system logs is not kept in the IWSVA database (as is possible with reporting logs).

System logs include a record of all HTTP and FTP scans, configuration changes, mail delivery attempts, administration tasks, and update outcomes (such as virus patterns and scan engines).

Directories to store logs

• Administration log—Describes when services stopped and started

• Application Control log—Describes when services stopped and started

• Audit trail log—Contains configuration changes made by users with various access rights.

• FTP scan log—Contains FTP threat incidents

• HTTP scan log—Contains HTTP threat incidents

• Mail delivery daemon log—Contains email notifications

• Update log—Contains the time the engine and pattern files are updated and the update results

• Note: You must restart the tomcat service after you have changed the audit log directory.

Options

• Number of days to keep the system logs—Use this feature to "auto-delete" old logs as new ones are added. Default is five days.
