Traffic logs

Introduction

This page displays traffic information on a per-flow basis. Administrators can apply appropriate bandwidth limit policies according to traffic logs.

For traffic log data to be displayed, select Custom for the Output Services field in the Output to Local area on the System > Log Settings > Log Management page, and then enable the global traffic logging feature.

vSystem support information

Support of non-default vSystems for this feature depends on the device model. This feature is available on the Web interface only if it is supported.

Restrictions and guidelines

• Only one log operation (import, export, or clear) is allowed at a time.

• Only one user can perform a log operation at a time. When you import, export, or clear logs, make sure no one else is performing a log operation.

   Table-1 Log export configuration items

   Item	Description
   Set password	Enter a password for encrypting the log files. This password is required when you view or import the exported log files.
   Logs per file	Specify the maximum number of logs allowed in a single log file. If the number of logs to be exported is smaller than or equal to the specified number, the device exports the logs to one file. If the number of logs to be exported is greater than the specified number, the device exports the logs to multiple files.

6. Click Export to export the log files to your PC.

Aggregate logs

Perform this task to enable log aggregation. Log aggregation reduces the number of log entries displayed on the Web interface and facilitates you to view the logs. With log aggregation enabled, the device aggregates service logs that meet the same aggregation criteria at the configured intervals. The log aggregation criteria include source IP address, destination IP address, application, and source user.

Procedure

1. Click the Monitor tab.

2. In the navigation pane, select Traffic-Related Logs > Traffic Logs.

3. Click More, and select Log aggregation settings.

4. On the page that opens, select the check box next to Enable and configure the aggregation interval.

5. Click OK.
