Logs

Log messages often contain clues that can aid you in determining the cause of a problem.

Depending on the type, log messages may appear in either the system event logs or the DDoS attack logs. To enable logging of different categories of system events, go to Log & Report > Log Configuration > Local Log Settings. All DDoS attack log categories are enabled automatically and cannot be disabled.

During troubleshooting, you might find it useful to lower the logging severity threshold for more verbose logs, to include more information on less severe events. To configure the log level, go to Log & Report > Log Configuration > Local Log Settings.
