ZoneAlarm router provider. Alternatively, you can click

Configuring Syslog Logging
You can configure the ZoneAlarm router to send event logs to a Syslog server residing in
your internal network or on the Internet. The logs detail the date and the time each event
occurred. If the event is a communication attempt that was rejected by the firewall, the
event details include the source and destination IP address, the destination port, and the
protocol used for the communication attempt (for example, TCP or UDP).
This same information is also available in the Event Log page (see
Viewing the Event Log
on page 151). However, while the Event Log can display hundreds of logs, a Syslog server
can store an unlimited number of logs. Furthermore, Syslog servers can provide useful
tools for managing your logs.
Note:
Kiwi Syslog Daemon is freeware and can be downloaded from
http://www.kiwisyslog.com. For technical support, contact Kiwi Enterprises.
