Difference between logging options

Can someone clarify the difference between "Send a log message for reports" and "Send a log message" ?
Thanks !

  • Hi Bruce,
    Thanks for the link which I had seen already, but it is really not clear for me, hence my question.
    For the first option, I understand that (1) logging is on by default for denied policies and checking this box will do it as well for allowed policies and (2) those "log messages are also used to generate reports".
    For the second option, (1) the option appears only for allowed connections (meaning that logging is on by default for denied policies ?) and (2) then the "Firebox sends log messages used to generate reports about allowed connections", which seems to be identical to what is mentioned for the first option... ???
    Hope this makes my question clearer... :)

  • To me:
    1) log message shows up in Traffic Monitor
    2) log message shows up in a WG log server: Dimension, WSM Log Server, Syslog server
