Which Event Log categories are available by default in a SonicWall firewall?

The correct choice identifies the default Event Log categories available in a SonicWall firewall: System, Security Services, and Firewall Settings.

The System category encompasses logs related to the overall status and functioning of the firewall, including system health, configuration changes, and performance metrics. The Security Services category includes logs specific to security features enabled on the firewall, such as intrusion prevention and anti-virus activity. Lastly, the Firewall Settings category records logs that pertain to firewall rule configurations and other settings, which are crucial for understanding how traffic is being managed and filtered.

By including these categories, the SonicWall firewall provides comprehensive insights into both system operations and security events, allowing for proactive monitoring and management of the firewall’s performance and security posture. This thorough logging capability is critical for administrators to ensure that the network is secure and that any security incidents can be investigated and addressed promptly.
