Log
Viewing and
Management
Network Enforcer's logs are very easy to work with, view, manipulate,
and save. This section will give outline how to work with the
logs in a variety of ways.
Viewing
To view logs for a specific computer (or computers)
select it from the computer list by clicking on it. Hold CONTROL
on your keyboard to select multiple computers. Once you have
computers selected click on "View Alerts Log " under
the "Log
Viewing" pane, OR under the "View" menu. Choose
"For Selected Computer" to load the logs.
If you want to view logs for all computers just click on the
"For All Computers" instead.
Additionally, you can view a computer's logs by right
clicking on it in the computer list, and selecting "View
File Usage".
Note: If the computer list is not visible click
on "View" then "View Computer List".
Saving Logs
To save a log click on "Log Actions" then "Save
Log", or "Save Alerts Log" in the main "Log Actions" pane,
then enter a name for the saved log report. You will be asked if
you want to view the saved log after the save completes.
Clearing Logs
Clearing logs operates the same as viewing logs, except that
instead of loading the logs, you click on "Log Actions" then
"Clear All Alerts Logs" or "Clear Alerts Log
for Selected Computer". You
can also clear logs from the "Options" menu.
Filtering Logs
You can use
the filtering function to only list logs created on a specific
date or security level. To do this click on "Log Actions" then "Filter
Logs by Date...", or the appropriate "Show only..." command.
Using the filtering commands, you can create custom log reports
(such as all high security violations for a computer on a certain
date).
Searching Logs
To quickly search a log after loading it, enter in a text string
to search with and click the search icon. You can do this in
the toolbar at the top of the Network Enforcer interface. You
can search logs for dates, times, usernames, filter data,
or any other keyword you can think of. Once a log is searched
and its results are displayed you can then save this custom
search result using the "Save Log" command
explained above. This is useful for printing out reports containing
specific data (such as all high security violations for a specific
user).
