Events Log

System log is an internal registry of users activities which influence system state (login information, administrative actions, etc.). Please refer to the Log Messages section for a list of key log messages.

To display system log contents, select Settings > Events log.

Filtering Logs by Date and Time

Logs can be filtered by date and time directly from the date bar located above the log list. Additionally, there is a set of commonly used date range filters, such as Today, Last 24 Hours, This Week, Last 1 Hour, Last 1 Year, etc., accessible through the calendar icon.

External Syslog Servers

Note

• Fudo Enterprise communicates with the syslog server using the UDP protocol.

• Messages are sent to the syslog server through the network interface that has the Admin Panel purpose selected in the network configuration. The IP address used must either be able to reach the target host’s network directly or use the default gateway. For more information, refer to the Network Interfaces Configuration section.
