Managing Log Events
Log View Table
The log is displayed in a table and is sortable by column. The log table columns include:
•Time - the date and time of the event.
•Priority - the level of priority associated with your log event.
Syslog uses eight categories to characterize messages – in descending order of severity, the
categories include:
Emergency
Alert
Critical
Error
Warning
Notice
Informational
Debug
Specify a priority level on a SonicWALL security appliance on the Log > Categories page to log
messages for that priority level, plus all messages tagged with a higher severity. For example,
select ‘error’ as the priority level to log all messages tagged as ‘error,’ as well as any messages
tagged with ‘critical,’ ‘alert,’ and ‘emergency.’ Select ‘debug’ to log all messages.
