I've been performing some manual testing of the snmp commands and seen some logging. Now that I have snmplogd running and sysklogd running with "-r", will the logs automatically start to pick up incoming and outgoing traffic and their associated ports, or do I need to put a special periodic query for that? If yes for the special periodic query, how? Thanks again.
