Question:
How can I receive alerts for IP reputation logs via email?
Answer:
To receive email alerts only when there is a blocked IP reputation event, you will need to use an external syslog server. Here are the steps to set this up:
- Set the firewall to send event logs to an external syslog server:
- Access the firewall's configuration settings.
- Navigate to the logging options and select to forward logs to an external syslog server.
- Input the IP address and port number of your syslog server.
- Configure your external syslog server:
- Install the syslog software on your server.
- Set up filters to parse and filter log messages based on keywords. For IP reputation, filter logs where action is 'blocked'.
- Enable email alerts for the filtered events, specifying the recipient email address.
