The syslog file records all relevant events for Gibraltar. The syslog is a important file to get information about the behaviour of the Gibraltar firewall. Examples for entries in the syslog:
• | Starting and stopping of services/daemons |
The following settings can be done here:
• | Number of logs: Number of lines of the syslog that are shown at the GibADMIN. |
• | Refresh frequency in seconds: rate of actualization when the automatic refresh is activated. |
Start refresh : Click this button to start the auto refresh .
Stop refresh : Click this button to stop the auto refresh.
ATTENTION: Do not choose an interval < 5 sec because stopping the refreshes could be very difficult.
• | IP of the external syslog server: Enter the IP address of a syslog server that is running to get the syslogs from Gibraltar. |
• | Allow syslog entries from other computers: Activate this checkbox if you want to use Gibraltar as a syslog server for other computers. Note: you must add a firewall rule to accept packets from the UDP port 514 from the designated interface to LOCAL. |
