VPN Events and Logs Overview
Use this page to view information about security events based on IPSec VPN policies. The event viewer provides a view of all IPsec VPN events.
Using the time-frame slider, you can quickly focus on the area of activity that you are most interested in. Once the time range is selected, all of the data presented in your view is refreshed automatically. You can also use the Custom button to set a custom time range.
By default, you can view data for all the devices. To view data for a specific device, click on the link beside Devices and select a device.
There are two ways to view your data. You can select either the summary view or the detail view.
VPN Events—Summary View
Click Summary View for a brief summary of all the VPN events in your network. The top of the page has a swim lane graph of all the VPN events. You can use the widgets at the bottom of the page to view critical information such as top sources, top destinations, and top reporting devices. See Table 1 for descriptions of the widgets in this view.

VPN Events—Detail View
Click Detail View for comprehensive details of events in a tabular format that includes sortable columns. You can aggregate the events using the Group by option. For example, you can group the events based on source country. The table includes information such as the event name, log source, host name, source country, and so on.
The Legacy Node option is displayed in the event viewer after the legacy log collector node is added on the Logging Nodes page. We’ve added the legacy log collector support only for read only purpose to view existing log collector data. New logs should point to Security Director Insights VM as the log collector. Select the Legacy Node checkbox to view the existing log collector data. When you clear the Legacy Node checkbox, Security Director Insights log collector data is displayed.
