Firewall Session Log
For firewall and web filter permit rules with logging enabled, this log captures information on session
creation and termination, including the time the session started, and the URL being accessed (for web
requests). When a session terminates the Firewall Session Log shows how many bytes were transferred
through the session.
A log entry is generated for each of the following events if the firewall rule had logging enabled.
• Web Request event: occurs when the X family device permits a web request to pass through.
• Session Started event: occurs when a firewall rule is triggered.
• Session Close event: occurs when the network connection is ended or closed due to inactivity.
To maintain a complete history of entries and provide a backup, you can configure the X family device
to send Firewall Session Log entries to a syslog server from the Syslog Servers page. For details, see the
“
Syslog Servers” on page 242.
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 Session log entry contains the following fields:
