Log Formats
In the LSM, you can view all the logs in the GUI. In addition, you can download a text-only version of
the log and view it in a browser window or save it in a file. If you save a log in a file, you can then off
load it to a remote syslog server. When downloading a log, the format is a steam of data separated by
the delimiter specified in the GUI.
In the System Log, the fields displayed in the GUI are the same as the fields in the downloaded log. In
the other five logs, the fields that are shown in the GUI are only a subset of what is available in the
downloaded log file.
This section documents the fields that are in the downloaded versions of these logs. These field
definitions are helpful when reading the downloaded log file. They contain the description of the data
so that you can format the desired fields in a reporting program such as Excel or Access, or send it to a
remote syslog server.
Delimiters
In the LSM GUI, on the Download Log page, you can specify one of the following delimiter formats:
• tab (This is the default.) The field names do not appear on the tab delimited format.
• comma (csv)
For both types of delimiters, the sub-fields within the Message field are always tab delimited. If a
Message sub-field is not used a tab is inserted to move onto the next sub-field.
Alert and IPS Block Log Formats
An example of a comma-delimited IPS Block Log entry follows:
1, 2006-08-22 16:31:39,INFO,BLK,”Block v4 2 [3f937e55-31e9-11db-9452-
