Firewall Block Log
The Firewall Block Log captures information about events that have triggered a firewall rule that blocks
matching traffic and has logging enabled.
A log entry is generated for each of the following events.
• Block web request event: occurs when the X family device blocks a web request due to web filtering
• Block event: occurs when a firewall rule with Block action is triggered.
To maintain a complete history of entries and provide a backup, you can configure the X family device
to send Firewall Block Log entries to a remote syslog server from the Notification Contacts page. For
details, see “
Notification Contacts” on page 52.
Each log entry is tab-delimited. The log fields are populated based on the type of event being logged. If
a field is not used, a tab is inserted to properly position the data in the next field.
A Firewall Block log entry contains the following fields:
