Learn how System Logs help you review system messages, gateway events, resource changes, and operational issues by timeframe and severity level.
System logs contain details of actions that the Multicloud Defense solution performs. This includes system messages, gateway events, instance creation or deletion, and other configuration and operation modifications of the Multicloud Defense solution and more. The system stores these logs for a duration of 1 year. Multicloud Defense supports log forwarding to AWS S3.
