Logs

Logs are ﬁles where history of certain events performed through or detected by WinRoute are

recorded and kept. Each log is displayed in a window in the Logs section.

Each event is represented by one record line. Each line starts with a time mark in brackets (date

and time when the event took place, in seconds). This mark is followed by an information,

depending on the log type. If the record includes a URL, it is displayed as a hypertext link.

Follow the link to open the page in your default browser.

Optionally, records of each log may be recorded in ﬁles on the local disk

and/or on the Syslog

server.

Locally, the logs are saved in the ﬁles under the logs subdirectory where WinRoute is installed.

The ﬁle names have this pattern:

file_name.log

(e.g. debug.log). Each log includes an .idx ﬁle, i.e. an indexing ﬁle allowing faster access to

the log when displayed in Administration Console.

Individual logs can be rotated — after a certain time period or when a threshold of the ﬁle size

is reached, log ﬁles are stored and new events are logged to a new (empty) ﬁle.

Administration Console allows to save a selected log (or its part) in a ﬁle as plaintext or in

HTML. The log saved can be analyzed by various tools, published on web servers, etc.

22.1 Log settings

Log parameters (ﬁle names, rotation, sending to a Syslog server) can be set in the Conﬁguration

→ Accounting section. In this section of the guide an overview of all logs used by WinRoute

are provided.

Double-click on a selected log (or select a log and click on the Edit button) to open a dialog

where parameters for the log can be set.

Note: If the log is not saved in a ﬁle on the disk, only records generated since the last login to

WinRoute Firewall Engine will be shown in the Administration Console. After logout (or closing

of Administration Console), the records will be lost.

Local disk is a disk of the computer where WinRoute is installed, not a computer where Administration Console is

running!
