Thanks, David I understanded you.
But you didn´t give me a possible solution.
The pc wasn´t shutdown in hard way, because we have power problem. Maybe the log files were corrupted and that why it doesn´t update.
I goes on with the problem. The last that I tried was "fw logswitch", but it doesn´t work.
 
Thanks.
Regards.
Verónica.

You need to understand that there are actually many parts to the management console:
     1.  policy management interacting with the policy GUI;
     2.  logging interacting with the firewalls and the log viewer GUI;
     3.  OPSEC interacting with 3rd party products like RealSecure;
     4.  CP MAD interacting with the logs and the firewalls;
     etc., etc., etc.
 
Anyway, when the logging piece is deactivated via shutdown, the log viewer would not
be able to connect to the management console nor would the management console
receive any updates from the remote firewall modules.  However, when the management
console is reactivated, it should reconnect to the firewalls and the firewalls should update
the console with the logs it saved locally on the remote firewall modules.
 
The rule of thumb is to NOT shutdown the management console since it receives the logs
as well.  It is possible, however, to push to logs to another server, called the master
console, which only receives and processes logs.  It performs no other function such as
firewall management or OPSEC accounting, just logging.

Hi everybody!!
Last week the pc where is isntalled the management console of FW-I (windows 2000 professional) , shutdown and it was 7 days power off.
Yesterday I turns it on and when I open the log viewer it only shows the messages from the 10 of March, the day that the pc was shutdown, but not the newer.
I installed the policy from the console management and it runs good.
I shutdown and turn on the FW-I (NOKIA IP650), and it was good, but the logs goes on not updated.
Do you know where is the problem?? And, how can I solve it??
Thanks.
Regards.
Verónica.
