Monitoring the System

The Barracuda Web Security Gateway incorporates hardware and software fail-safe mechanisms that are indicated via system alerts and logs. The powerful reporting engine provides a broad spectrum of web traffic statistics and user-level activity reports which can be created ad-hoc, emailed to administrators or sent to an FTP or SMB server. You can monitor multiple Barracuda Web Security Gateways using Barracuda Cloud Control (BCC), a centralized management web interface for managing, configuring and reporting on multiple devices from one central web console. These articles describe the tools and monitoring tasks you can use via the web interface and the front panel of the Barracuda Web Security Gateway to track system performance and configure system alerts.
