Heartbeat Settings on the Enhanced Log Settings Page

A heartbeat is a message generated by the SonicWALL firewall appliance sent out at various intervals to a connected management server to determine whether the management server connected to the SonicWALL firewall appliance is active. You can now set a threshold value for how often a heartbeat message is generated. You can do this on the Log Settings page.

To specify the Heartbeat Rate, complete the following:

1	Navigate to the Policies Panel.

2	Click the Log menu to display logging options.

3	Click the Log Settings option. GMS displays the Log Settings dialog box.

4	In the Heartbeat Rate field in the General region, type a value that represents the number of seconds that is the interval between heartbeat tests. Note that the default interval is 60 seconds.
