7.17.1 Regular Expressions in Searching IPSec SAs
A question mark (?) lets a single character in the VPN connection or policy name vary. For example,
use “a?c” (without the quotation marks) to specify abc, acc and so on.
Wildcards (*) let multiple VPN connection or policy names match the pattern. For example, use
“*abc” (without the quotation marks) to specify any VPN connection or policy name that ends with
“abc”. A VPN connection named “testabc” would match. There could be any number (of any type) of
characters in front of the “abc” at the end and the VPN connection or policy name would still match.
A VPN connection or policy name named “testacc” for example would not match.
A * in the middle of a VPN connection or policy name has the UAG check the beginning and end and
ignore the middle. For example, with “abc*123”, any VPN connection or policy name starting with
“abc” and ending in “123” matches, no matter how many characters are in between.
The whole VPN connection or policy name has to match if you do not use a question mark or
asterisk.
7.18 The Log Screen
Log messages are stored in two separate logs, one for regular log messages and one for debugging
messages. In the regular log, you can look at all the log messages by selecting All Logs, or you can
select a specific category of log messages (for example, firewall or user). You can also look at the
debugging log by selecting Debug Log. All debugging messages have the same priority.
To access this screen, click Monitor > Log. The log is displayed in the following screen.
Note: When a log reaches the maximum number of log messages, new log messages
automatically overwrite existing log messages, starting with the oldest existing log
message first.
• The maximum possible number of log messages in the UAG varies by model.
Events that generate an alert (as well as a log message) display in red. Regular logs display in
black. Click a column’s heading cell to sort the table entries by that column’s criteria. Click the
heading cell again to reverse the sort order.
Outbound (Bytes)
This field displays the amount of traffic that has gone through the IPSec SA from the
