Configuring Logging, Alerts, and Event Notifications
You can configure the STM to email logs and alerts to a specified email address. For
example, the STM can email security-related events such as malware incidents, infected
clients, and failed authentications. By default, the STM logs content filtering events such as
attempts to access blocked sites and URLs, unwanted email content, spam attempts, and
many other types of events.

For you to receive the logs in an email message, the STM’s notification server needs to be
configured and email notification needs to be enabled. If the notification server is not
configured or email notification is disabled, you can still query the logs and generate log
reports to view on the Web Management Interface or to save in CSV format.
