System Log

The System Log screen shows a list of all system events (for example, Policy turned on, Policy edited, Event Resolved, and so on.) that occurred in the system. This log includes both user-initiated events as well as automatically occurring system events (for example, Policy turned off automatically because of too many hits). This log does not include policy-generated events, which you can view on the Events screen. You can export the logs as a CSV file. You can also configure the system to send the System Log events to a Syslog server.

Each logged event includes the following details:

Parameter	Description
Time	The time and date when the event occurred.
Event	A brief description of the event that occurred.
Username	The name of the user that initiated the event. For events that occur automatically, no username is given.

Sending System Log to a Syslog Server

To configure the system to send system events to a Syslog server:

1. Go to Local Settings > System Log.

2. In the upper-right corner, click the drop-down box to display the list of servers.

   Note: To add a Syslog server, see Syslog Servers.

3. Select the desired server.

   OT Security sends the System Log events to the specified Syslog server.
