Monitor Firewall Events

You are here: Monitor > Events > Firewall.

Use this page to view information about the security events based on Event name, Source address, Destination address, Applications, User, Service, Policy, Nested application, Source interface and Source zone.

Using the time-range slider, you can quickly focus on the time and area of activity that you are most interested in. Once the time range is selected, all of the data presented in your view is refreshed automatically. You can also use the Custom button to set a custom time range.

You can select either the Grid View tab or the Chart View tab to view your data:

Grid View—View the comprehensive details of firewall events in a tabular format that includes sortable columns. You can group the events using the Group By option. For example, you can group the events based on source country. The table includes information such as the event name, source IP, destination country, and so on. Table 1 describes the fields on the Grid View page.
Chart View—View a brief summary of all the firewall events in your network. The top of the page has a swim lane graph of all the firewall events. You can use the widgets at the bottom of the page to view critical information such as, top sources, top destinations, and top users.Table 2 describes the widgets on the Chart View page.

Field	Description
The filter that is displayed above the grids.	Displays the options available in the filter list are: Event Name—Displays the event name of the log. Source Address—Displays the source addresses to be used as match criteria for the policy. Address sets are resolved to their individual names. Destination Address—Displays the destination addresses (or address sets) to be used as match criteria for the policy. Addresses are entered as specified in the destination zone’s address book. Application—Displays the application name from which the events or logs are generated. User—Displays the user name from whom the log is generated. Service—Displays the name of the application service. For example, FTP, HTTP, SSH, and so on. Policy—Displays the Policy name in the log. Nested Application—Displays the nested application in the log. Source Interface—Specify the source interface for ICMP requests. If no source interface is specified, the device automatically uses the local tunnel endpoint interface. Source Zone—Displays the User traffic received from the zone. Select the criteria or parameter on which you want to construct the filter statement.
Text box	Displays the filter parameter that you selected from the filter list. Note: In the filter statement the following limitation exists. You can use only one operator at a time. You can use only one instance of the criteria or parameter in one filter statement. For example, if you have used & operator and the parameter event-name once, you cannot use them again in the same filter statement CORRECT USAGE: event name = rt_flow_session_close & application=TELNET WRONG USAGE: event name = rt_flow_session_close & event-name = rt_flow_session_create WRONG USAGE : event name = rt_flow_session_close & source-address = x.x.x.x & application = TELNET Note: The filter statement is NOT case-sensitive. Add the parameter for which you want to filter. For example, in the filter list if you selected event-name as the parameter, the text box displays event-name =. If you add rt_flow_session_close to see only Firewall events then the text box displays event name = rt_flow_session_close.
