    How to configure the Logging Level to global category attributes on 5.9 Fimrware

    Resolution

    Feature/ Description:

    This article describes how to configure the Logging Level to  global category attributes when SonicWall Security Appliance is running on 5.9 firmware version.

    Global Category Attributes:

    Clicking the tool button next to the Logging Level box launches the Edit Attributes of All Categories dialog. This dialog enables you to set the attributes for all events in all categories or in all groups.

    You can set the priority for each category or group, and all the events under that category or group will have that same priority. You can also specify Email addresses where the logs and alerts can be sent.

    The Redundancy Filter Interval boxes enable you to enter time intervals (in seconds) to avoid duplication of a log message within an interval. The range for these intervals is 0 to 86400 seconds.

    1. For Syslog messages, the interval is set to 90 seconds.  
    2. For Alert messages, the interval is set to 900 seconds.

    Procedure:

    To Edit the Category Attributes Globally:

    Step 1: Go to the Log > Settings page.

    Step 2: Click the tool button.

    Step 3: From the Event Priority menu list, select the priority that want.

    Under Enable Redundancy Filter Interval Section:

    Step 4: If you want to display the log events in the Log Monitor, select the Enable button for the Display Events in Log Monitor option.

    Note:  The Enable buttons are,

    • Green when they are selected,
    • White when they are not selected,
    • Semi-solid when they are unchanged. When the boxes say, “Multiple Values”, the values are unchanged also.

    Step 5: In the “Display Events in Log Monitor” box, enter the number of seconds for the Log Monitor to refresh its data. The range is 0 to 86400.

    Step 6: If you want to send events as email alerts, select the Enable button for the Send Events as Email Alerts option.

    Step 7: In the Send Events as Email Alerts box, enter the number of seconds for the Log Monitor to refresh its data. The range is 0 to 86400.

    Step 8: If you want to report events via Syslog, select the Enable button for the Report Events via Syslog option.

    Step 9: In the Report Events via Syslog box, enter the number of seconds for the Log Monitor to refresh its data. The range is 0 to 86400.

    Step 10: If you want to send the global event log via Email, enter the Email address in the Send Log Digest to Email Address box.

    Step 11: If you want to keep using this Email address even when you change other values in this dialog, select the Leave Unchanged option

    Step 12: If you want to send alerts via Email based on the global settings in this dialog, enter the Email address in the Send Alerts to E-mail Address box.

    Step 13: If you want to keep using this Email address even when you change other values in this dialog, select the Leave Unchanged option.

    Step 14: If you want to use a specific color for the global events log, uncheck the Leave Unchanged option. The color selection matrix appears.

    Step 15: Select the color you want.

    Step 16: Click on Apply.
