Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S690 User Guide

You can view current and past appliance activity using these and other log types. Reference tables are 
available to help you interpret log file entries.

Minimizing the number of log subscriptions will benefit system performance.

Logging fewer details will benefit system performance.

By default, the Web Security appliance has one log subscription created for Web Proxy logging 
messages, called the “Default Proxy Logs.” This captures basic information on all Web Proxy modules. 
The appliance also includes log file types for each Web Proxy module so you can read more specific 
debug information for each module without cluttering up the Default Proxy Logs.

Follow the steps below to troubleshoot Web Proxy issues using the various logs available.

Read the Default Proxy Logs.

If you see an entry that might related to the issue but does not have enough information to resolve it, 
create a log subscription for the relevant specific Web Proxy module. The following Web Proxy module 
logs types are available:

Troubleshoot web proxy issues using logs

Add and edit log subscriptions

View log files

Interpret log files

Customize log files

Push log files to another server
