Proxy Alarm
You can configure the proxy to send an SNMP trap, a notification to a network administrator, or both.
In Fireware Web UI, you configure alarm settings in the Proxy and AV Alarms tab. For more information, go to HTTPS-Proxy: Proxy Alarm.
Idle Timeout
Configure these settings to specify how long the HTTPS proxy waits for the web client to make a request from the external web server after it starts a TCP/IP connection, or after an earlier request for the same connection. If the time period exceeds this setting, the HTTPS proxy closes the connection.
To enable this feature, select the check box and, in the adjacent text box, type or select the number of minutes before the proxy times out.
Enable Logging for Reports
To create a traffic log message for each transaction that can be used to generate reports, select this check box. This option increases the size of your log file, but this information is very important if your firewall is attacked. If you do not select this check box, you do not see detailed information about HTTPS proxy connections in reports.
Override the Diagnostic Log Level for Proxy Policies That Use This Proxy Action
To specify the diagnostic log level for all proxy polices that use this proxy action, select this check box. Then, from the Diagnostic Log Level for This Proxy Action drop-down list, select a log level:
- Error
- Warning
- Information
- Debug
The log level you select overrides the diagnostic log level that is configured for all log messages of this proxy policy type.
For more information about the diagnostic log level, go to Set the Diagnostic Log Level.
