Notification
Whenever important events occur (e.g., portscans, login with an invalid password, reboots, or notifications
of the self-monitor), the administrator is notified via e-mail. At least one e-mail address must be entered
at System|Settings|Notification.
Note: The Host Name is shown in the reference line in all Notification E-Mails. The Host Name is
configured in the Network|Interfaces menu.
In the Notification window, type in the E-mail address that you want and click Save. You can then Edit
or Delete the entry.
Remote Syslog
In the Remote Syslog window, select the desired Remote Syslog host from the drop-down box and
click Save.
Remote Syslog lets you pass on all log messages of the firewall to another syslog daemon.
This is especially recommended if you want to collect the log files of several systems on one host. The
default setting is ’off’. To activate it, select a host from the Remote Syslog Host select menu that is to
receive the log data and then click the Save button.
The remote host must run a Syslog-compatible daemon to accept the log data. Before you can set the
host here, you must first define it in Definitions|Networks and then select it in System|Settings.
Use a Network netmask of 255.255.255.255 to define a single host.
A remote syslog "how to" is provided in Appendix A of this manual.
