Controlling notification
Notification occurs when the Firebox sends an email mes-
sage, pops up a window on the log host, dials a pager, or
executes a program to notify an administrator that the Fire-
box has detected a triggering event. Use the WSEP applica-
tion to control when and to whom such notifications are
sent. From the WatchGuard Security Event Processor inter-
face:
1
Click the
Notification
tab.
The Notification tab information appears, as shown in the
following figure.

Modify the settings according to your security policy
preferences.
For more information on individual settings, right-click the
setting, and then select What’s This?. You can also refer to the
“Field Definitions” chapter in the Reference Guide.
