Removing a log host

Remove a log host when you no longer want to use it for 
any logging purpose. From Policy Manager:

1

Select Setup => Logging.

The Logging Setup dialog box appears.

2

Click the host name. Click Remove.

3

Click OK.

The Logging Setup dialog box closes and removes the log host 

entry from the configuration file.

Reordering log hosts

Log host priority is determined by the order in which the 
hosts appear in the WatchGuard Security Event Processor 
list. The host that is listed first receives log messages.

Use the Up and Down buttons to change the order of the 
log hosts. From the Logging Setup dialog box:
•

To move a host down, click the host name. Click 
Down.

•

To move a host up, click the host name. Click Up.

Synchronizing log hosts

Synchronizing log hosts involves setting the clocks of all 
your log hosts to a single common time source. This keeps 
logs orderly and prevents time discrepancies in the log file 
if failovers occur.

The Firebox sets its clock to the current log host. If the Fire-
box and the log host times are different, the Firebox time 
drifts toward the new time, which often results in a brief 
interruption in the log file. Rebooting the Firebox resets the
