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.
