Log Settings

Capsa can analyze and log the application layer traffic, e.g. DNS, HTTP, Email, FTP traffics, and also monitors MSN and Yahoo Messenger chatting messages. This page allows you to set to get more useful logs of these traffics and save the logs to disk.

This page contains two parts:

• Display Buffer: to decide which types of log to be displayed in the Log tab of the main view, and to change the display buffer of each log.
• Output Settings: to decide which logs to be saved to disk and change root folder name and generated log file prefix of each log type.

Please note that the output folder is based on the Log Output settings, if its Save log to disk is disabled, the Output Settings on this window will not take effort.

Different analysis profiles have different log types. Because analysis profiles use different analysis modules, and different modules have their own log functionalities. In total, you can find the following log types:

• Diagnosis Log
• DNS Log
• Email Log
• FTP Log
• HTTP Log
• ICQ Log
• MSN Log
• YAHOO Log

The Email Copy is for saving copies of monitored emails in your network. If you don't want to save email copies, just uncheck this item, otherwise check it.
