What You Need to Know
An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. They include system errors, attacks
(access control) and attempted access to blocked web sites or web sites with restricted web
features such as cookies, active X and so on. Some categories such as
System Errors
consist of
both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the
View Log
screen. Alerts
display in red and logs display in black.
Alerts are e-mailed as soon as they happen. Logs may be e-mailed as soon as the log is full (see
Log Schedule
). Selecting many alert and/or log categories (especially
Access Control
) may
result in many e-mails being sent.
