SonicWALL TZ 190 Manuale Utente

Several other SonicWALL documents provide information relating to the Common Criteria 
evaluated configuration of SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances. Those documents are 
described here.

During the operation of a SonicWALL security appliance, SonicOS software sends log event 
messages to the console. Event logging automatically begins when the SonicWALL security 
appliance is powered on and configured. SonicOS Enhanced supports a traffic log containing 
entries with multiple fields. 

Log event messages provide operational informational and debugging information to help you 
diagnose problems with communication lines, internal hardware, or your firmware 
configuration.

Not all log event messages indicate operational issues with your SonicWALL security 
appliance.

The Log > View console display provides log event messages including the following fields for 
alert notification:

Time—Displays the hour and minute the event occurred.

Priority—Displays the level urgency for the event.

Category—Displays the event type.

Message—Displays a description of the event.

Source—Displays the source IP address of incoming IP packet.

Destination—Displays the destination IP address of incoming IP packet.

Note—Displays displays additional information specific to a particular event occurrence.

Rule—Displays the source and destination zones for the access rule. This field provides a 
link to the access rule defined in the Firewall > Access Rules page.

The display fields for a log event message provides you with data to verify your configurations, 
trouble-shoot your security appliance, and track IP traffic.
