Please note that upon enabling the "text" logging in SGS you may get a warning about the potential effects this action may have on the firewall performance. From the feedback we obtained from our beta testers they noticed no impact of text logging even on a heavily used SGS firewall.

Configuring the log profile:
- Start the FireGen NG user interface
- Switch to the Log profiles tab
- Click Add new
- In the Properties section, change the profile name from Profile1 to a name relevant to the specific firewall (i.e. Bastion_SGS)
- As Firewall type select SGS
- Select the logs location (the folder where the logs are stored, in txt format, using the naming convention specified above)
- Click on the -> button to save the profile (the profile name should move from the Unsaved section to the Saved one as shown below:

- Switch to On Demand
- Select the reporting interval
- Save the settings by clicking the Apply button
- Press Analyze! to run the analysis
