Scroll Prev Top Next More

You can use the Log Files section to view SecurityGateway's various log files stored in your Logs folder. Unlike the Message Log, the log files are not stored in the database, providing sortable lists and separate entries for each event. Instead, they are plain text files containing transcripts of the various SMTP connections and other functions that SecurityGateway performs. The All Log Files page under the Log Files section lists all of the log files contained in your logs folder, including the current log files and roll-over log files. From that page you can view any of the files listed. The other pages in the Log Files section provide shortcuts to view SecurityGateway's current log files, such as the system log, inbound and outbound logs, virus update logs, and more.

Log Files are not included in the backup files created using SecurityGateway's internal Backup options. But you can use the archiving option located on the Logging Configuration page to archive them. If you wish to save or backup the log files to a location other then the designated Logs directory, then you must use your backup software or some other external method to do so.

All Log Files

The All Log Files page lists all log files contained in your Logs folder, designated on the Directories page. It lists the current files, which are still being written to by SecurityGateway, and the roll-over log files. Each entry lists the file's name, its size, and the date and time it was last modified. You can view any listed file by double-clicking its entry or by selecting the entry and clicking View on the toolbar at the top of the page. You can download a file by selecting the file and clicking the Download button. You can delete a file by selecting it and clicking the Delete button.
