SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
6. The requested data will be presented to the client as a .cap file, and can be saved or viewed
on the local machine.
Methods of Access
The client and NPCS must be able to reach one another. Usually, this means the client and the
NPCS will be in the same physical location, both connected to the SonicWALL appliance. In
any case, the client will be able to directly reach the NPCS, or will be able to reach the NPCS
through the SonicWALL. Administrators in a remote location will require some method of VPN
connectivity to the internal network. Access from a centralized GMS console will have similar
requirements.
Log Persistence
SonicOS currently allocates 32K to a rolling log buffer. When the log becomes full, it can be
emailed to a defined recipient and flushed, or it can simply be flushed. Emailing provides a
simple version of logging persistence, while GMS provides a more reliable and scalable
method.
By offering the administrator the option to deliver logs as either plain-text or HTML, the
administrator has an easy method to review and replay events logged.
GMS
To provide the ability to identify and view events across an entire enterprise, a GMS update will
be required. Device-specific interesting-content events at the GMS console appear in Reports
> Log Viewer Search page, but are also found throughout the various reports, such as Top
Intrusions Over Time.
