Enterprise Reporter
- In order to display “Passed sites” informa-
tion in the Status section of the Watchdog interface, the "Hide
Uncategorized Category" checkbox in the ER Web Client
(Settings > Default Options) must be de-selected.
NOTE
: By default "Hide Uncategorized Category" is selected,
and therefore no Hit count record would be included for the
PASSED category. Once this box is de-selected, when the ER
summarizes and updates the table for yesterday’s categories,
Watchdog fetches data for the PASSED category. Depending on
the amount of data being processed, this could occur within a few
hours or after midnight.
R3000 and ProxyBlocker
- In order for Watchdog to monitor
R3000 filtering, your filtering profile on the workstation with
Watchdog installed must have GPORN blocked. To monitor
filtering on the ProxyBlocker, PROXY or GPORN must be
blocked in your filtering profile on the workstation with Watchdog
installed.
Testpoint URLs are included in shadow.log, which may cause
confusion in reporting, as these URLs will increase the GPORN
hit count for the R3000, and the GPORN or PROXY hit count for
the ProxyBlocker.
The workstation running Watchdog should not have the X Strikes
Blocking feature enabled, since this would lock you out from any
Web access.
Threat Analysis Reporter
- If Watchdog is monitoring a Threat
Analysis Reporter, the workstation running Watchdog should be
excluded from monitoring, otherwise you would be locked out
from any Web access.
If there is a network connectivity problem between the worksta-
tion running Watchdog and the monitored appliance(s)—e.g. a
cable is loose or unplugged—the Watchdog interface will display
a failure status, whereas the appliance(s) may be functioning
well.
