CHAPTER 10 Log Settings 10.1 Overview This chapter provides information on viewing and generating logs on your NWA. Logs are files that contain recorded network activity over a set period. They are used by administrators to monitor the health of the system(s) they are managing. Logs enable administrators to effectively monitor events, errors, progress, etc. so that when network problems or system failures occur, the cause or origin can be traced. Logs are also essential for auditing and keeping track of changes made by users. Figure 56 Accessing Logs in the Network The figure above illustrates three ways to access logs. The user (U) can access logs directly from the NWA (A) via the Web configurator. Logs can also be located in an external log server (B). An email server (C) can also send harvested logs to the user's email account. 10.2 What You Can Do in this Chapter Use the Log Settings screen to configure where and when the NWA will send the logs, and which logs it will send (Section 10.4 on page 112). Use the Monitor > Logs screen to display all logs or logs for a certain category. NWA1120 Series User's Guide 111

Overview
This chapter provides information on viewing and generating logs on your NWA.
Logs are files that contain recorded network activity over a set period. They are used by
administrators to monitor the health of the system(s) they are managing. Logs enable
administrators to effectively monitor events, errors, progress, etc. so that when network problems
or system failures occur, the cause or origin can be traced. Logs are also essential for auditing and
keeping track of changes made by users.
Figure 56
Accessing Logs in the Network

U
) can access logs directly from
the NWA (
A
) via the Web configurator. Logs can also be located in an external log server (
B
). An
email server (
C
) can also send harvested logs to the user’s email account.
