Getting Started
Once Firewall Analyzer has been successfully set up and started in your network,
the next thing you need to do is start sending logs to the Firewall Analyzer
server.
As soon as you log in, you will see the Dashboard. If no devices are sending
logs to Firewall Analyzer, you will see a welcome screen, with options to
help you get started.
The options are:
Each of those options is explained below:
Configure Your Firewall
If your firewall is capable of exporting logs to the displayed ports in
Firewall Analyzer, then set
the appropriate parameters in the firewall to do so. Click the How
do I do this? link for specific
instructions on setting up log exports on certain firewalls.
Add Syslog Server
If your firewall cannot export logs to the displayed
ports in Firewall Analyzer, but can export logs to another port, click
the Add Syslog Server link to add
a virtual syslog server and start receiving exported logs on the newly
configured port.
Import Log File
If your firewall cannot export logs, or you need to generate reports from
a squid proxy
server click the Import Log File link to import
a log file from the local machine or a remote machine via FTP.
Simulate
If you do not want to receive log files from any device, but still generate
reports, click the Simulate link to generate
reports from sample firewall logs. You can later turn this off by clicking
the Stop Simulate link from the Settings
tab.
