Configuring Log Server connections

The Connection tab of the Email Log Server Configuration utility contains options for creating and maintaining a connection between Log Server and Forcepoint Email Security.

Steps

  1. Accept the default Log Server input port (50800) or enter another available port. This is the port over which the Log Server communicates with the email software. The port entered here must match the port entered on the page Settings > Reporting > Log Server in the email management server interface.
  2. Click Apply. The changes are saved.
  3. Use the button in the Service Status area to Start or Stop Log Server. The label of the button changes to reflect the action that will occur when clicked.
    Note: No email traffic can be logged when Log Server is stopped.

    Changes made in the configuration utility do not take effect until you stop and restart Log Server. See Stopping and starting Log Server.
