You don't want "attacks" reported. Your firewall should not report
"attacks". "Attacks" = attempt of someone to ping your IP, or send a
packet to your IP. Anyone can do it. It is almost as common as someone's
driving past you house. You don't want a report on that either.

If you are really under massive attack you notice pretty soon because
your internet connection will slow down quickly. All your firewall is
supposed to do is keep the door shut...
