Enabling logging

Updated: February 1, 2011

Applies To: Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG)

By default, Forefront TMG logs information for all traffic handled by the Microsoft Firewall service and the Web Proxy filter. Each component has a separate log, and you can customize log settings and fields. By default, logging is enabled for both the Firewall service and the Web Proxy filter.

To enable and disable logging

  1. In the Forefront TMG Management console, in the tree, click the Logs & Reports node.

  2. In the details pane, click the Logging tab.

  3. On the Tasks tab, select the appropriate task:

    • Select Configure Firewall Logging, to configure the location of the Firewall log.

    • Select Configure Web Proxy Logging, to configure the location of the Web Proxy log.

  4. On the Log tab, select the Enable logging for this service check box.

  5. To disable logging, clear the Enable logging for this service check box.
