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.

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