## 22.6 Debug Log

Debug (debug information) is a special log which can be used to monitor certain kinds of information, especially for problem-solving. Too much information could be confusing and impractical if displayed all at the same time. Usually, you only need to display information relating to a particular service or function. In addition, displaying too much information slows WinRoute's performance. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to monitor an essential part of information and during the shortest possible period only.

### Selection of information monitored by the Debug log

The window's context menu for the Debug log includes (see chapter 22.2 Logs Context Menu) further options for advanced settings of the log and for an on-click one-time view of status information.

Note: These options are available only to users with full administration rights for WinRoute (see chapter 15.1 Viewing and definitions of user accounts).

IP Traffic

  This function enables monitoring of packets according to the user defined log expression.

  Figure 22.8. Expression for traffic monitored in the debug log

  The expression must be defined with special symbols. After clicking on the Help button, a brief description of possible conditions and examples of their use will be displayed.

  Logging of IP traffic can be cancelled by leaving or setting the Expression entry blank.

Show status

  A single overview of status information regarding certain WinRoute components. This information can be helpful especially when solving problems with Kerio Technologies technical support.

Messages

  This feature allows advanced monitoring of functioning of individual WinRoute modules. This information may be helpful when solving issues regarding WinRoute components and/or certain network services.

  Figure 22.9. Selection of information monitored by the Debug log

  - WAN / Dial-up messages information about dialed lines (request dialing, auto disconnection down-counter),

  - Filtering — logs proving information on filtering of traffic passing through WinRoute (antivirus control, website classification, detection and elimination of P2P networks, dropped packets, etc.),

  - Accounting — user authentication and monitoring of their activities (protocol recognition, statistics and reporting, etc.),

  - WinRoute services — protocols processed by WinRoute services (DHCP server, the DNS module, web interface, and UPnP support),

  - Decoded protocols — logs of specific protocols (HTTP and DNS),

  - Miscellaneous — other information on miscellaneous topics (e.g. packet processing by the Bandwidth Limiter, Internet connection, HTTP cache, used licenses, update check, employment of dynamic DNS, etc.),

  - Protocol inspection — reports from individual WinRoute's protocol inspectors (sorted by protocol),

  - Kerio VPN — detailed information on traffic within Kerio VPN (VPN tunnels, VPN clients, encryptions, exchange of routing information, web server for Clientless SSL-VPN, etc.).
