Suggestion : Less clicks to access firewall logs and activity

np1

Why are firewall logs (action and alert logs) and the Activity tab inside the Settings option? Every time I want to check what applications are communicating or what the firewall is working on, I have to go through the Security Center, enter the Settings, pass the UAC check, then browse in the firewall settings.  Since both Activity tab and the action/alert logs cannot be modified in any way (since they're just reports - EDIT : you should make the action log read only), can they be dropped to non-administrator status and put somewhere that they can be readily accessed, or at least with less clicks and trouble (ie put a link for each in Statistics or Tasks)?

Hi np1,

 

Thanks for your idea. This is something we are considering as part of upcoming releases. Having it under Tasks sounds like a logical place.
