You can't really get more log space, but you definitely want to set it up to e-mail the logs to you. Viewpoint or GMS (Viewpoint is a subset of GMS) are not quite the same thing. They are reporting tools that will give you information from syslog data that is sent to them, which is very useful, but still not a substitute for reviewing the logs.

Thanks for the claification on GMS/viewpoint. So, I guess emailing the logs really is the only way to go. Thanks.

Hello,<br />
I've got a Sonicwall NSA240 and I was wondering if its possible to increase the size of the event log? I'm not even sure what criteria it uses to dicctate when its full, wheter its amount of items, or MB size. It appears to clear the old stuff to make way for the new events, but it doesn't go back far enough to help with diagnosing issues.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; I do see a way to have the sonicwall email the log before clearing it, but increasing its capacity would be nice.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
