156 Integrating Symantec Mail Security for SMTP with SESA

Configuring logging to SESA

on computers that are managed by Symantec security products. The event 
categories and classes include antivirus, content filtering, network security, and 
systems management. The range of events varies depending on the Symantec 
applications that are installed and managed by SESA.

You can monitor and manage these security-related events through the SESA 
Console. The SESA Console is the common user interface that provides 
manageable integration of security technologies (Symantec or otherwise), 
Symantec Security Services, and Symantec Security Response. You can query, 
filter, and sort data to reduce the security-related events that you see through 
the SESA Console, which allows you to focus on threats that require your 
attention. You can configure alert notifications in response to events, and 
generate, save, and print tabular and graphical reports of event status, based on 
filtered views that you have created.

SESA must be installed and working properly before you can configure 
Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to log events to SESA.

For more information, see the SESA documentation.

Configuring logging to SESA

The logging of events to SESA is in addition to the standard local logging 
features for Symantec Mail Security for SMTP. Logging to SESA is activated 
independently of standard local logging. If you have purchased SESA, you can 
send a subset of the events that are logged by Symantec Mail Security for SMTP 
to SESA.

See

“Interpreting Symantec Mail Security for SMTP events in SESA”

 on 

page 164.

To configure logging to SESA, you must complete the following steps:

Configure SESA to recognize Symantec Mail Security for SMTP. In order for 
SESA to receive events from Symantec Mail Security for SMTP, you must 
run the SESA Integration Wizard that is specific to Symantec Mail Security 
for SMTP on each computer that is running the SESA Manager. The SESA 
Integration Wizard installs the appropriate integration components for 
identifying the individual security product (in this case, Symantec Mail 
Security for SMTP) to SESA.

“Configuring SESA to recognize Symantec Mail Security for SMTP”
