System Log
The System Log page shows a list of all the system events that occurred in the system. For example, Policy turned on, Policy edited, Event Resolved and so on. 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 are shown on the Events page). 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.
The following information is available for each logged event:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Time | The time and date when the event occurred. |
| Event | A brief description of the event. |
| Username | The name of the user that initiated the event. For events that occur automatically, there is no username. |
