Settings

This section provides configuration tasks to enable you to categorize and customize the logging functions on your SonicWall security appliance for troubleshooting and diagnostics.

The Device > Log > Settings page displays logging settings in a series of columns and allows you to configure the logging and alert levels, edit attributes of all categories, groups, and reset all event counts. You can filter the entries to limit the data display to only those events of interest. You can select storage options on appliances with built-in or flexible storage components, and you can import and save logging templates.
