Creation Time TIMESTAMP Log entry creation time.
C-tag VLAN_C_TAG Customer tag in double-tagged VLAN traffic.
Data Identifier LOG_ID Data Identifier of the log entry.
DSCP Mark DSCP_MARK The DSCP Mark associated with the traffic that triggered the log event.
Dst Addr DST Packet destination IP address.
Dst Port Dport TCP or UDP destination port in the packet header.

Facility FACILITY Firewall subsystem that generated the log event.
FP situation FP_SITUATION Situation identifier of a matching fingerprint.
ICMP code ICMP_CODE ICMP code field. ICMP code provides further information about message type (for example, network unreachable). For more information, see RFC 792 and RFC 950.
ICMP ID ICMP_ID The ICMP identifier recorded by the engine when ICMP packets pass through the firewall. The ICMP identifier can be used by the echo sender to aid in matching the replies with the echo requests. For example, the identifier might be used like a port in TCP or UDP to identify a session. For more information about ICMP ID and the ICMP protocol, see RFC 792 and RFC 950.
ICMP Type ICMP_TYPE The ICMP type attribute ecorded by the engine when ICMP packets pass through the firewall.
IKE Cookie IKE_COOKIE IKE Cookie used in the VPN negotiation.
Information message INFO_MSG A description of the log event that further explains the entry.
IPsec SPI IPSEC_SSPI The IPsec Security Parameter Index (SPI) is the connection identifier of the IPsec connection. The IPsec SPI value is displayed as a hexadecimal number.
NAT Dst NAT_DST Translated packet destination IP address.
NAT Dst Port NAT_DPORT Translated packet destination protocol port.
Nat Rule Tag NAT_RULE_ID The rule number of the NAT rule that triggered the log event.
NAT Src NAT_SRC Translated packet source IP address.
NAT Src Port NAT_SPORT Translated packet source protocol port.
Priority QOS_PRIORITY The priority assigned to the traffic according to the QoS policy.
Protocol PROTOCOL Connection IP protocol.
Protocol Agent SRVHELPER_ID Protocol Agent numeric ID code.
QoS Class QOS_CLASS The Quality of Service class assigned to the traffic according to the QoS policy.
Reception time RECEPTION_TIME Time when the Log Server received the entry.

Service SERVICE Special field for filtering logs using the defined services. Does not appear in the log entry table.
Severity ALERT_SEVERITY Severity of the situation related to the log event.
Situation SITUATION The identifier of the situation that triggered the log event.
Src Addr SRC Packet source IP address.
Src IF Srcif Defined source interface number for the firewall cluster.
Src Port Sport TCP or UDP source port in the packet header.
Src VLAN SRC_VLAN The source VLAN ID number (up to 4095).
S-tag VLAN_S_TAG Service provider tag in double-tagged VLAN traffic.
Syslog SYSLOG_TYPE Syslog is a system service used in some operating systems, for example, UNIX, and software packages. For more information about syslog and syslog types, see RFC 3164.
Type TYPE Log entry severity type.
