26. Schedulers » Event Reporting

Events are brief text messages describing errors, warnings, or changes to operational status. Each Wanguard software component generates events, which are stored in the Console database. To view recent events, click the thin border at the bottom of the window (or press Ctrl+E) to open the South Region. You can also see events per component in Reports » Devices » [Component Name] » [Component Type] Event.

In Configuration » Schedulers » Event Reporting, you can configure Wanguard to send important events periodically by email, syslog, or SNMP.

Event Report Configuration parameters:

● Polling Time – Specifies how often new events are forwarded by email, syslog, or SNMP

● Minimum Severity – Selects the lowest event severity to report:

▪ CRITICAL – High-impact errors (e.g., memory exhaustion)

▪ ERROR – Errors often due to misconfiguration, communication failures, or bugs. Sensors may auto-recover

▪ WARNING – Issues like authentication errors, I/O bottlenecks, or time sync problems

▪ INFO – Logins or configuration changes

▪ DEBUG – Used only for troubleshooting or development

● Send Events by Email / to Syslog / as SNMP Traps – Choose the method(s) for sending events, and configure each accordingly

● Comments – (Optional) Internal notes on this configuration. Not displayed elsewhere

Warning

It is highly recommended to keep the events that have a high severity under surveillance!
