Monitoring Firebox Traffic

Setting the maximum number of log entries
You can change the maximum number of log entries that
are stored and viewable on the Traffic Monitor tab. After
the maximum is reached, the earliest logs are removed as
more come in. A high value in this field places a large
demand on your system if you have a slow processor or a
limited amount of RAM. In this situation, LogViewer is a
much more appropriate tool for tracking logs than the traf-
fic monitor in System Manager.
