For example, the audit is limited to generating an audit event for the first<br />

three (3) occurrences for every 60 seconds. If <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> stopped<br />

100 source routed packets in 60 seconds, then <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> generates<br />

three records for the first three denials, and then generates another<br />

audit record stating that 97 occurrences were suppressed in that 60<br />

second window.<br />

Limiting audit in this manner reduces system load.<br />

• Always audit — Generates an audit record for every audit event.<br />

Caution: Unlimited auditing runs the risk <strong>of</strong> overflowing the log partition<br />

and creating problems for the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

Options for viewing the audit output generated by these selections include:<br />

• Admin Console > Dashboard<br />

• Admin Console > Audit and Reports<br />

• <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> Security Reporter<br />

• Third-party reporting tools<br />

The UDP Network Defense allows you to customize audit output for UDP<br />

Defense, in the Admin Console select Policy Configuration > Network<br />

Defenses > UDP. The following window appears.<br />
