ZyWALL USG 1000 User’s Guide

The Web configurator saves the filter settings if you leave the View Log screen and return to it 
later.

The Log Settings screens control log messages and alerts. A log message stores the 
information for viewing (for example, in the View Log tab) or regular e-mailing later, and an 
alert is e-mailed immediately. Usually, alerts are used for events that require more serious 
attention, such as system errors and attacks.
The ZyWALL provides a system log and supports e-mail profiles and remote syslog servers. 
The system log is available on the View Log tab, the e-mail profiles are used to mail log 
messages to the specified destinations, and the other four logs are stored on specified syslog 
servers.
The Log Settings tab also controls what information is saved in each log. For the system log, 
you can also specify which log messages is e-mailed, where it is e-mailed, and how often it is 
e-mailed.
