Change settings for event logging

You can specify and change the types of Personal Firewall events to log. By default, event logging is enabled for all events and activities.

Task
1 Open the Firewall settings page.
2 Click Firewall History.
3 If it's not already selected, select Log these events.
4 Select the event types that you want to log, and clear the ones you don't want to log. Event types include:
Blocked programs
ICMP pings
Blocked IP addresses
System service ports
Intrusion detection (IDS)
Unknown events (these occur on ports that are not in the database)
5 To prevent logging on specific ports, select Don't log events on these ports, then type single port numbers separated by commas, or port ranges separated by dashes. For example: 137-139, 445, 400-5000.
6 Click Apply.
