User Guide 179LoggingAbout logging to a WatchGuard Log ServerThe WatchGuard Log Server (previously known as the WatchGuard System Event Processor, or WSEP) is acomponent of WatchGuard System Manager. If you have a Firebox III, Firebox X Core, or Firebox X Peak,configure a primary Log Server to collect the log messages from your Firebox X Edge e-Series. You can alsoconfigure a backup Log Server. If the Firebox X Edge cannot connect to the primary Log Server, it tries toconnect to the backup Log Server. It then sends log messages to the backup Server until it cannot connect tothat Server. Then, it tries the primary Server again. For instructions on how to configure the Log Server toaccept log messages, see the WatchGuard System Manager User Guide.If you have not already done so, it is a good idea to configure the Edge with a device name. This name lets theLog Server know which log messages come from which device. The device name appears in the Log Viewer.If this field is clear, the Firebox X Edge is identified in the log file by the IP address of the Edge externalinterface. To give your Edge a device name, go to the Administration web page.Send your event logs to the Log ServerTo configure the Edge to send your event logs to a WatchGuard Log Server:1. To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP addressof the Firebox X Edge trusted interface. The default URL is: https://192.168.111.12.
