Explain the usage of SmartLog and SmartEvent Software Blade.
 
SmartLog : Security systems typically track or monitor all activity within a network and then generate log records that can be analyzed in real-time or viewed in bulk later. ​However, traditional log management systems can take hours to run queries and search millions of log records. SmartLog is basically a log management tool that provides organizations with the ability to centrally track all log records and security activities across all Software Blades on Security Gateways and Security Management servers, thereby providing instant visibility into billions of log records. SmartLog provides the following monitoring features:

* Find logs quickly by using simple search strings.
* Select from a variety of default search queries to find the relevant logs.
* Real-time monitoring of logs.
 
SmartEvent : SmartEvent: A unified security event management and analysis tool, SmartEvent Software Blade provides real-time graphical threat management information. Using SmartEvent, you can consolidate and display all security events generated by the following Software Blades:

* Firewall
* IPS
* Application Control
* Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus

It is possible for administrators to quickly identify critical security events and take the necessary measures to prevent future attacks
