Logs
20.1  Overview
This chapter contains information about viewing the ZyXEL Device’s logs.
The web configurator allows you to choose which types of events and/or alerts to 
have the ZyXEL Device log and then display the logs. 
20.1.1  What You Need To Know About Logs
Alerts
An alert is a message that is enabled as soon as the event occurs. They include 
system errors, attacks (access control) and attempted access to blocked web 
sites. Some categories such as System Errors consist of both logs and alerts. You 
may differentiate them by their color in the View Log screen. Alerts display in red 
and logs display in black.
Logs
A log is a message about an event that occurred on your ZyXEL Device. For 
example, when someone logs in to the ZyXEL Device, you can set a schedule for 
how often logs should be enabled, or sent to a syslog server.
20.2  The System Log Screen
Use the System Log screen to configure and view the logs you wish to display.
To change your ZyXEL Device’s log settings, click Maintenance > Logs > Log 
Settings
. The screen appears as shown.
