View Logs

You can view the different log types on the firewall in a tabular format. The firewall locally stores all log files and automatically generates Configuration and System logs by default. To learn more about the security rules that trigger the creation of entries for the other types of logs, see Log Types and Severity Levels.
To configure the firewall to forward logs as syslog messages, email notifications, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, Use External Services for Monitoring.

      The firewall displays only the logs you have permission to see. For example, if your administrative account does not have permission to view WildFire Submissions logs, the firewall does not display that log type when you access the logs pages. Administrative Role Types define the permissions.
