Exporting Log Files
Configuring multiple log back-ends
vWAF allows you to export log files easily in a number of ways.
You can configure vWAF so that it sends log data either to just one back-end or to multiple back-ends at a time (see System Configuration).
Possible back-ends are file, database, syslog, and syslog-cef.
This only exports application-specific log files plus the Default Error Log. Audit Log and Event Log can’t be exported.
The information of the Audit Log is also included in Reports.
Downloading a log file
You can download a log file in text format for documentation purposes or further analysis with third party software. All entries in the log files are comma-separated and quoted, which makes it easy to import them into third-party tools.
The downloaded file always contains the same entries as currently displayed on screen. Therefore, if you’ve applied any filter, you don’t download the complete log file but only the filtered view. This is can be handy especially if you’ve applied some complex filters.
To download the current view of a log file, click the Download button next to the filter configuration area.
