## Symptoms

- `$FWDIR/log/` directory on Security Management Server / Log Server contains FireWall log files named "`HOSTNAME__`*YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS*`.log`", and/or "`HOSTNAME1__HOSTNAME2__`*YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS*`.log`".  

*Examples* :  

* `SecCMA03__2013-02-28_235500.log` (where *SecCMA03* is the name of the Secondary CMA)
* `SecCMA03__Fw01__2013-06-23_135606_2.log` (where *Fw01* is the name of the Security Gateway)

## Cause

These log files are FireWall log files, which have been forwarded to this Security Management Server / Log Server from another Log Server, or from Security Gateway.

The '*HOSTNAME*' part of the log file name is the hostname of the machine, which has forwarded this log file.
