How can the log facilities be monitored?

The ability to monitor log facilities through the ProxySG user interface is a significant feature that provides ease of access and usability for administrators. The user interface is designed to give real-time insights into the logs generated by the ProxySG, allowing users to view and analyze logged events without needing to engage with complex command-line procedures or external software.

This graphical interface simplifies monitoring by presenting logs in a structured format, enabling configuration of various logging levels and filtering options. This makes it convenient for administrators to track user activity, security incidents, and operational performance.

While it is true that external software can also be used for log monitoring, it may require additional setup, integration, and potentially complicates the monitoring process compared to the direct access provided by the ProxySG user interface. Command-line access is another method to view logs but is often less intuitive and requires familiarity with command-line operations. The assertion that logs cannot be monitored contradicts the primary function of logging facilities, which are essential for the management of any network device, particularly in a security-focused context like that of proxy servers.
