Using the Config log

Logs keep information records of selected events occurred in or detected by Kerio Control. For more information refer to Using and configuring logs.

The Config log stores the complete history of communication between the administration interface and Kerio Control Engine. It is possible to determine what administration tasks were performed by a specific user.

Reading the Config log

The Config window contains three log types:

Information about logging in to Kerio Control administration

Example 1

[18/Apr/2013 10:25:02] winston - session opened for host 192.168.32.100. User-Agent:
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0.
			
[18/Apr/2013 10:32:56] winston - session closed for host 192.168.32.100
			

• [18/Apr/2013 10:25:02] — date and time when the record was written to the log
• winston — the name of the user logged in for Kerio Control administration
• session opened for host 192.168.32.100 — information about the beginning of the communication and the IP addressAn identifier assigned to devices connected to a TCP/IP network. of the computer from which the user connected
• User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0. — information about the used browser
• session closed for host 192.168.32.100 information about the end of the communication with the particular computer (user logged out or the administration closed)

Changes in the configuration database

Changes performed in the administration interface. A simplified form of the SQL language is used when communicating with the database.

Example 2

[18/Apr/2013 10:27:46] winston - insert StaticRoutes set Enabled='1', 
 Description='VPNVirtual private network - A network that enables users connect securely to a private network over the Internet.', Net='192.168.76.0', Mask='255.255.255.0', 
 GatewayNetwork element that connects networks and shows packets where to go.='192.168.1.16', Interface='LANLocal area network - A network that connects computers and other devices in a small area.', Metric='1'

• [18/Apr/2013 10:27:46] date and time when the record was written
• winston — the name of the user logged in for Kerio Control administration
• insert StaticRoutes ... — the particular command used to modify the Kerio Control's configuration database (in this case, a static route was added to the routing table)
