Log View

The Log View tab in View displays information about the security event logs. It contains filters and controls that allow you to group the event logs in different ways, and to drill down and view the details of a related set of event logs.

The following action buttons are available in the top pane:

  • Traffic/Intrusion Prevention/Sandbox/Antivirus/DNS/Application Control/Web Filter/Event—view the event logs grouped by:
    • Application
    • Attack
    • Sandbox
    • Antivirus
    • Domain names
    • Application control
    • Web filter
    • Event
  • Scope—view output for all sites or select a specific site.
  • Set Filter—filter the data (Last 5 minutes, Last 30 minutes, Last 60 minutes, Last N minutes, Last 4 hours, Last 12 hours, Last N hours, Last 1 day, Last 7 days, Last N days, Last N months, or Specify).

    When you set the filter to last N Minutes/Hours/Days/Months, a search box appears next to Set Filter. Enter a value for N and click Search to apply this filter.

    The table for your log view is updated according to your selection in Set Filter and the value entered in the N search box.

    Previously selected time range in Dashboard, Monitors, Reports, or SD-WAN Monitoring is automatically applied to Log View.

    You can specify a custom time range and save it as a time selector. The custom time range is preserved between customers.

  • Export to CSV—export the log view information as a CSV file.
  • Refresh—refresh the data.
  • Add Filter—add a filter to narrow down the search.

    Double-click a field in any Log View table to add the field as a filter. You can combine multiple filters to narrow down your search.

  • Settings—opens the Column Settings dialog. Select columns from the list to display.
  • Sort—Some columns have a sorting feature, allowing you to sort data in ascending or descending order.

A dropdown list at the bottom allows for selecting the number of entries to display per page.

You can use < and > buttons on the bottom right for page navigation, or you can select the page number directly to go to the page.

  • Traffic—arranged by application. See Traffic.
