See current data

To view current log data, select Realtime. To stop, select Pause.

See past data

1. Select a date and time. Your Datastore settings determine how much past data is available.
2. If needed, filter the logs by selecting an item:
   
   • Inbound interface or Outbound interface allows you to select an interface, such as IPSec, L2TP (not available in Maiden) or SSL VPN.
   • Source IP, Destination IP, Protocol, Source port, or Destination port allows you to enter text into the box.

     Tip

     • The Source IP address shown is before any source NAT rule was applied.
     • The Destination IP address shown is after any port forward rule was applied.
   • Rule allows you to select a Firewall rule.
   • Action allows you to select Accept, Reject or Drop.
3. Select Show columns and select which items to show. Then, select Apply filter to view the logs.
   

   Tip

   If either the Inbound or Outbound interfaces are blank, the Smoothwall Firewall blocked the traffic.
